Assume you just wrote the following e-mail message to a colleague about scheduling a meeting.

"Dear Marilyn,

Thanks for the lunch. I had a great time, and we accomplished a lot. Those pictures of your kids are adorable.

Listen, I wanted to see if we could schedule a meeting with the big boss for Friday to go over the survey plan we made at lunch. Could you try to set something up when you both are available? I can be free any time on Thursday or Friday. Those pictures of your kids are adorable."

Before sending the message, it occurs to you that your e-mail will probably be forwarded to your supervisor. What will you need to change to make the message appropriate for both a colleague and your supervisor?

a. Describe what you had for lunch and what the kids look like in detail.
b. Give a complete summary of the survey plan in case your colleague has forgotten what you talked about.
c. Make the message more formal, remove the personal discussion, and give more specifics about the survey plan.

The new york times (nov. 30, 1993) reported that “the inability of opec to agree last week to cut production has sent the oil market into turmoil . . [leading to] the lowest price for domestic crude oil since june 1990.” why were the members of opec trying to agree to cut production? so they could save more oil for future consumption so they could lower the price so they could raise the price why do you suppose opec was unable to agree on cutting production? because each country has a different production capacity because each country experiences different production costs because each country has an incentive to cheat on any agreement the newspaper also noted opec’s view “that producing nations outside the organization, like norway and britain, should do their share and cut production.” what does the phrase “do their share” suggest about opec’s desired relationship with norway and britain? opec would like norway and britain to keep their production levels high. opec would like norway and britain to act competitively. opec would like norway and britain to join the cartel.
