Project TWO: Writing an Email and a Memo After reading the scenario below, write a formal memo to the appropriate recipient to remedy the problem/situation. You will be sending this memo electronically as an attachment, so you also need to send an email to the appropriate recipient. Make sure that you carefully read the short passage. Follow all of the guidelines for writing memos and emails and remember to consider the audience, purpose, tone, formatting, etc. Think about how you will deliver a negative message followed by a solution that might be positive. Check your grammar and your punctuation. Prairie City Engineering of Lubbock, Texas, was established in 2013 by Robert Davidson and Walter F. Posey, both graduates of the University of Amarillo. Business for the company was good, and Prairie City took on six additional partners between 2016 and 2020: Alvin T. Bennett, Wayne Cook, Richard Liu, John W. Castrop, George Ramirez, and Frank Reynolds-all graduates of the University of Amarillo. For the last 5 years, the partners of Prairie City have been meeting every Friday for a working lunch at Coasters, a local restaurant and bar. The customers are almost exclusively men, the waitresses wear swimsuits, and the interaction of customers and waitresses is regularly flirtatious. This year Prairie City hired Elizabeth Grider, a Missouri State University graduate, as a new partner in the firm. She has attended two of the working lunches at Coasters and finds herself uncomfortable in this environment. She does not feel, however, that she can just skip the lunches because these are the only regular times at which all the partners gather. Projects are often discussed and work assignments decided at these Friday meetings. In addition, the lunches offer the opportunity to establish a cordial and friendly working relationship with the partners. She realizes that "Friday at Coasters" has become a long-standing tradition at the firm, and she hesitates to upset the status quo. However, she really wishes they could find a different location for their meetings. As Elizabeth Grider, write a memo to the senior partner, Robert Davidson, explaining the issue with Coasters and commending one or more solutions. Of course, Grider will speak to Davidson directly but she thinks that writing a memo will help her organize her thoughts, anticipate objections, and prepare for a possibly difficult conversation. And after their meeting, she will leave the memo with Davidson as a written reminder of her objections and recommendations.
