Paper For Above instruction

The initial letter contained inappropriate and unprofessional language, including insults and sarcastic remarks, which do not align with formal business communication standards. To convey the message effectively and maintain professionalism, the tone was revised to be respectful, concise, and objective. The revised letter clearly states the issue—that the paycheck has not been received—and politely requests the payroll team to investigate and resolve the matter. Using neutral language avoids alienating the recipient and demonstrates respect, thereby increasing the likelihood of a prompt response and resolution.

Revised concise paragraph (20 words)

The company postponed the picnic due to weather; it will resume next Thursday, and attendees should bring their assigned dishes.

Dear Ms. Fortin,

It is essential for all staff to clock in at the beginning of each shift to ensure that supervisors are aware of staff availability, particularly in emergency situations. Any staff member unable to adhere to this policy may be subject to disciplinary action following review by management. For further clarification, please consult your employment contract. Timely and efficient communication helps to maintain smooth operations and support effective emergency response.

Sincerely,

Mr. Pratt

Revise the following paragraph, changing passive voice to active voice

Every family should take a long summer vacation. Vacations help families relax and stay healthy, and they bring families closer together. Trips to places like Colonial Williamsburg provide opportunities to experience American culture, teach history, and offer entertainment. Instead of spending another boring summer in front of the computer, families should hit the open road to reinvigorate their lives.
