You are a newly hired Deputy Director of Economic Development working in the Texas Governor's Office for economic development. You can find the full contact information for this office at https://gov.texas.gov/business.

Background: Texas tries to attract businesses to expand or relocate offices or facilities to the state. Part of your job is to contact businesses to consider making a move to Texas by providing information about the attractiveness of the state and highlighting incentives that are available. You will want to visit the website to gather information about this.

Your task: Identify a real organization that has limited business activities in Texas. Find a contact person and persuasive letter using the inductive (indirect) approach. In the message, you will want to convince him/her about the benefits of moving/expanding to the state. Be sure to use specific facts about Texas and apply them to this specific company's business. (Hint: you may want to review information on target industries on the website for ideas.) Decide on a specific action that you want the reader to take. As you provide your convincing argument, consider your reader's needs and the concerns of taking on such a time-consuming, expensive project.

Letter format: Your letter format will use full block with open punctuation and traditional spacing. Two-letter state code: The post office has requested that two-letter codes be used for state abbreviations.
