OK everybody we are now going to go through our second live example.
And for this second live example we're going to be looking at a semi-formal letter because we're writing
a letter to a manager looks like.
So as I said in the previous lecture I am going to be writing this live so I'm not going to be able
to necessarily be talking all the time.
I know some people say well why aren't we talking more.
We'll stop and explain please.
I stopped and explained in section 2 of this lecture series right.
This is about me writing something live so you can witness and see progression.
Step by step by step what I'm able to talk and stop and talk and explain.
I will but I'm trying to move through it and finish in a timely fashion and give you the ability to
really see the parts happening live because that's what you need to be able to do on paper.
OK.
So let's get started.
This is the year that you have seen an advertisement of a valuable piece of equipment write a letter
to your manager and ask to buy that product to be used in your company.
Include the following in your letter.
What the equipment is how it can be useful for the company and describe the procedure for buying the
whip.
So the first step that we have to do as always is to do an outline.
You've seen from all the examples that I've done so far every example that I've done so far you've seen
it happen the exact same way.
All right.
It doesn't matter what type of letter ready.
It's the same strategy.
OK.
Because the same notion same strategy because language changes whether it's formal or informal.
It's the same structure and organization as put it that way.
All right.
So let's get started.
And we're going to get started with doing an outline outline I need to address these three parts what
the equipment is how it can be useful and describe the procedure for buying.
So we have an outline.
One
we're going to buy an all inclusive
recording.
How about that.
One thing that I recommend you do write about what you know.
Right.
If you're a software engineer by software equipment if you are a nurse by some nursing equipment if
you're a dentist by dental equipment.
Right.
So if you're a social worker buys some pens and pencils I guess I don't know but buy buy buy equipment
that you know.
OK.
Right about what you know
part to you should be up there.
How can that be useful.
Look for lessons on line courses.
Remember a lot of the ideas I'm thinking about may not actually use all those ideas but I'm just trying
to get things out of my head so I can focus on how I want to write.
If I use online order form
provide dimensions Spillman will really help out outline it doesn't really matter.
But to use color that's built right.
Yeah right.
So I've done an outline of doing an outline is really really helpful.
Okay.
And when I write this to our manager Mr. Campbell and the main here and.
All right.
So dear Mr. Campbell it's ok since as a manager as a manager it's OK to use their last name.
You didn't say Dear Sir Madam Bray is semi-formal so be dear Mr. Campbell dear Mrs. Williams dear dear
whatever you want to put it that's OK.
And then I start out with arke introduction.
OK
when you quit we should consider.
Right now we have a very very good compound complex sentence.
We have a very good sentence there that is going to really impress the greater right.
Really impress the greater a lot.
As the manager of our department you previously request we bring to your attention any good ideas to
improve our capabilities.
And I've come across some equipment we should consider.
Next up the talk about what the equipment is
and B you discuss.
We discussed
right now.
You know as I said this equipment fits the bill that's more colloquial language.
Well it's OK here and I want to do it too much but it's ok here because this is a semi-formal letter.
If this were a formal really formal letter I wouldn't put something like fits the bill.
You know I want to say it is I don't mean to say it's
write
in addition
to built in the telescreens for
microphone sound buffer
and document holder right.
So they are kind describe the equipment what the equipment is
and then we have to move onto the next part about how it can be useful for the company.
The usefulness for our company is undeniable.
He now gets the controlling idea of what this next paragraph is going to be about and going to discuss
we will be able to
properly
equally important
enable us into the online course market sense we can do all of our recordings in that house.
The wired standard production
what do you think so far do you think I'm convincing my manager right is the semi-formal letter right.
Should be to our right.
And then we have to write about the next par which is described the procedure described your procedure
for buying the equipment
right.
Again you're seeing a short topic sentence here to kind of introduce where we're moving onto.
Or you have to take somebody's hand and you have to walk through where you're going.
You have to take them in the direction that you want them to go.
You have to fill out a piece of wood in order for.
Now the good thing is that I already have my outline so I don't have to think about what I need to do.
When you go by the booth dimensions needed
and the color palette for the whole site
right there is our next letter.
Right.
And then we're missing what guys we just need our conclusion.
I really hope we can
quickly and this is a semi informal.
If this were if this were a formal letter I would probably say we should write we should so semi-formal.
I hope you're getting the idea of the tone
you feel a little
in the next quarter.
Right.
And there we have it.
We going to give them a whole Best regards
from good ole.
Best regards from Kevin Smith.
Right.
And we're going to give Kevin actually a title is not necessary.
I hate.
Yes.
I guess that's what happens.
That's what happens when you're writing live.
You make mistakes.
All right so there we have our letter everybody.
All right.
And a word Cal
is just a little over to 13.
We have a scarlet letter in and what really helped me to be able to write it so quickly and write it
right so quickly is that I add an outline in front of me and then outline enable me to just write and
keep going and know what the idea is and focus on how I want to say it.
OK.
So I hope you enjoy that.
And we have one more live writing for a formal letter formal letter that will kind of go live through
we'll show you how to do so.
I hope this is working out well for you.
I want you to really study hard work hard do your best work on your application of theory.
OK I'll talk to you soon in the next lecture.
