    Our Business Communication Final provides you with an opportunity to choose one of three different scenarios to write about. Choose one of the following to write a 150 to 300-word paper – single-spaced, double-spaced between paragraphs. No references are necessary. I have included the appropriate PowerPoint presentation from our class for you quick reference. Choose between:

You do not know if any of them will be called to return to work or even if your company will survive. Create a memo that you will personally deliver to each employee (no script necessary!): The memo should thank the employee for their good work over the last several years; makes it clear this is not about work performance; offer to provide a positive letter of recommendation; and, if the job returns in the future, you would be delighted to invite them to return.     
    Option B  
    New Product Memo: You have been providing polo-shirts and t-shirts with sports teams imprints on them to 20 regional stores in southern California. You have just come out with a new product of face masks, t-shirts, and shorts with the imprint of the various major sports teams in baseball, football, basketball, hockey, and soccer and would like to introduce this to the 20 stores you serve via a Zoom meeting next week.
