The first assignment is to write a specific thank you letter for a real occasion that would preferably be a business occasion, such as an interview, plant tour, classroom visit, etc.. Still, it can be a personal occasion if you are unable to think of a business situation. The letter must address a real person with a real situation (i.e., not directed to a fictional person or company). You can find a supporting website in D2L in this Module\u2019s content. Feel free to use any template you desire that has the essential elements of a professional thank you letter: date, \u201cDear Line,\u201d content, Sincerely\/Thank You, and signature. Keep your letter business professional, however.<\/p>\n
The supporting website provides several examples. Do not copy one of the examples verbatim (exactly). You are required to write the content of your letter.<\/p>\n
Please submit your professional letter to the appropriate dropbox by the deadline.<\/p>\n
