Writing Assignment Israel Yemer
Persuasive Action Request Despite spending countless hours in the classroom and writing stacks of meticulous research papers, many graduates who are about to enter the real world are clueless when it comes to basic personal finance, according to the experts. As program chair for the Associated Student Organization at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, you suggest that the group invite financial celebrity SuzeOrman to be its keynote speaker at a special graduation convocation. The ASO agreed and set aside $1,000 as an honorarium. This in not very much to entice the author of The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke, but Ms. Orman has been heavily promoting her book in cross-country tours to college campuses. The ASO group thinks it stands a fair chance of luring this financial celebrity to campus
November 15, 2010 Ms. SuzeOrman P.O. Box 4502 New York, NY 10040 Dear Ms. Orman: The excellent presentation you have recently made has gained our attention. For most of us, being a college student is all about studying for exams and writing piles of research papers. At the end, however, when all comes to pass, graduates who are about to enter the real world seem to be clueless about basic personal finance. Your recent encouraging presentation to Bethel University graduates captured our attention. As a chair man of the Associated Student Organization at the University of Nevada, I would like to invite you to be our guest speaker at special graduation convocation on May 26, 2011. You are highly recommended by several of our members as the speaker to our graduates on this very important day. We believed your advice and encouragement will help our graduates have a chance at a meaningful financial achievement. We assure you that students, families, and friends, who will be attending the ceremony, are enthusiastic to hear your presentation. Therefore, besides your travel expenses, we can offer you an honorarium of $1,000. We will also set up a table, and you will have the opportunity to promote books for sale. Can we depend on you? The keynote address is scheduled for 10 a.m., Thursday, May 26, 2011. If you could call me at (651) 123-4567 by April 15, we can make arrangements. Sincerely, Israel Yemer Israel Yemer Program Chair, ASO
