Persuasive Letter

The company you work for has recently cut funding to your department, and

in response to this you have recently been nominated to construct a letter

convincing the company to reverse its decision. The reason you have been

nominated is due to your unique writing voice and style, as well as your

excellent persuasive abilities.

In a one page, single spaced letter, do your best to convince your company

heads that this decision is not in their best interest. Draw upon ethos, pathos,

and logos when forming your argument, through any combination of

statistics, larger cultural considerations, and/or personal anecdotes. Again,

this letter can take on any voice or tone—creative, satirical and/or

businesslike—just be sure it is fitting to your intended audience and that

your desired effect is evident to your reader.
