For our second writing assignment, we are writing a formal business letter of at least 250 words using one of the three templates from the Purdue Online Writing Lab (see Basic Business Letter Format (Purdue OWL). You may select from the following scenarios for your letter’s content: If you would like to own your own business one day, introduce yourself to a loan officer. Include your plan for your business, as well as your skills, goals, and vision for where you would like your business to be in ten years. If you are preparing to work in a particular trade, write a cover letter for your resume describing your work history and/or the training and skills that you would bring to the job. Why does this work appeal to you? Why do you think you would be a valuable employee? Now that the letter has been drafted, its time to think of a way to use social media to get the word out about your plans. In between 25-75 words, write a post that could be shared on Craigslist, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. explaining your qualities and qualifications. Include this post on the second page as an enclosure (see samples). This letter will be evaluated according to its faithfulness to the chosen template (line spacing, indentation, punctuation) as well as its content. Include an enclosures line and a separate page for the social media post. Check your work for grammar and punctuation errors.
