Business email

Business Email Individual Assignment

For this task, you will write a professional business email to a person in a higher position than you (upward communication).

You have (under very good terms) left your previous job. You have maintained a nice communication channel with your former boss via professional social media (linkedin.com) and exchanged several emails. It has been a year, youve had lunch together, finished another project, and the time has come for you to ask your former boss for a letter of recommendation for a new job. Draft an email requesting such. Remember, you want to refresh your boss on the things you did at the company without exhibiting hubris. Your former boss runs a very large department and travels often. Therefore, might not have all of your past details in his/her immediate proximity.  Some tips to follow are here: https://bit.ly/2SchgpS

Carefully include the needed To and CC fields. Be sure to adhere to standard format for emails, including guidewords (From, Date, To, Subject) and block paragraphs (no indent, blank line between, single-space within).
