Routine Message.

This week you will be composing a Routine Message. Please view the Routine Message content item located under Week 3 for the details of this assignment.

Instructions
A large percentage of the writing we do in the workplace involves writing routine, neutral, and/ or goodwill messages. Routine and neutral messages cover a wide range of topics, from the ordinary (e.g., sending colleagues a reminder to attend a meeting) to the more detailed (e.g., updating a supervisor about a project).
In Week 3, Anne Brown, the division manager for E227 Global Solutions, is asking you to write an individual routine message, which will be formatted as a memo. In order to complete this assignment you must follow the steps below:
•	Read the trucking supervisor's email.
•	Read Anne Brown- memo (available in Doc Sharing) and pay close attention to the questions asked at the bottom of the memo.
•	Use the Week 3 Routine Planning Questions/Audience Profile (in Doc Sharing) to assist you with preparing your routine message to Anne Brown. These questions are for planning only, not submission.
•	Follow the Specific Guidelines below when drafting your routine message to Anne Brown.

•	This assignment is related to the Week 4 Collaborative Analytical Report (see Doc Sharing for details on the Week 4 Assignment) that you will be completing with your team next week.
