You are an IT project manager working for an energy distribution company, and you are preparing to go live with a new system that has been in development for over a year. In preparation for this go live, you need to request immediate assistance from an executive stakeholder who has recently been promoted to their position. This stakeholder may not be aware of your project, so this email must server as a professional introduction to you and the project as well as a call-to-action request.

To position the request, you need to provide an update on the status of your project that relates to them and communicate the compelling reason for them to act in support of your project. Make sure they are clear about the consequence of their action or inaction. You can invent the specific project and stakeholder scenario details.
