Assignment 1: Professional Email Message Due Week 2 And Wort

Assignment 1 Professional Email Messagedue Week 2 And Worth 100 Poin

Using this scenario: Paul works for the website division of SuperMega retail company. He receives an email late Friday afternoon that explains a new computer will launch at the end of next June and it will be in high demand with limited stock. Also contained in the three-page message is that customers will be able to preorder the item 30 days before launch according to the production company. Paul is asked to create a landing page for consumers who are interested in learning more about the product. By mistake, Paul sets up a preorder page for the product that afternoon (well in advance of the company authorized period) and late Friday evening consumers begin to preorder the product.

Sharon, Vice President of Product Sales at SuperMega, learns of the error Saturday morning and calls Paul to arrange a meeting first thing Monday morning. Sharon explains to Paul on the phone that the company intends on canceling all of the preorders and Paul responds that the company should honor the preorders because it was not a consumer error. After a heated exchange, Paul hangs up on Sharon when she insists that the preorders will be canceled because of Paul’s error.

Paper For Above instruction

Subject: Request for Meeting to Address Preorder Issue

To: Sharon, Vice President of Product Sales

From: Paul, Website Division Specialist

Date: [Insert Date]

Dear Ms. Sharon,

I am writing to formally address the recent issue concerning the preorder page for the upcoming product launch. As you are aware, I mistakenly launched the preorder page earlier than the scheduled period, resulting in consumer preorders initiated before the official authorization. This has created a situation that requires careful discussion regarding the company's next steps and the potential impact on customer relationships.

I acknowledge the mistake made in setting up the preorder page prematurely and understand the company's position on canceling these preorders. However, I believe that a comprehensive discussion could help clarify the circumstances and explore possible solutions. Therefore, I would like to request a face-to-face meeting at 9:00 AM on Monday morning to review the situation and determine the best course of action moving forward.

During our meeting, I hope we can review the facts of the case, address any concerns, and develop a coordinated approach that aligns with company policies and maintains our commitment to customer satisfaction. My goal is to work collaboratively to resolve this matter efficiently while minimizing any adverse effects on the company's reputation.

Please let me know if the proposed time is suitable or if there is an alternative time that better fits your schedule. I look forward to your guidance and to working together to resolve this issue professionally.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Paul

Website Division Specialist
