Part 1- Proposal:

For the proposal, imagine that you have landed a job in a career that you have been preparing yourself

From there, imagine that you have an idea to improve your place of employment. Perhaps you think that a new process should be adopted. Perhaps you think that a new piece of machinery should be bought for your company to use. Maybe you have an idea about the scheduling, or about funding, or about the approach your place of employment takes towards a certain subject that you think could be improved, or a policy that should be changed, or maybe you have an idea for research that would benefit your place of employment.

Then, you will have to write up a proposal to convince your place of employment to enact the changes that you are recommending. It will have to include a discussion of the problem, the solution that you are promoting, a discussion of budgets, a discussion of time constraints, a
discussion of the organization for which you work and why the proposal would benefit the organization, and a conclusion.

You will have to perform some research. It is easier to sell someone on an idea if you can show that similar ideas have worked in the past. Also, it is easier to convince someone to fund research if it is similar to research that has been done in the past.

Use either the textbook or an online guide for reference. As always, if you take anything-writing, information, ideas-from an online source, give the source credit and cite it according to MLA formatting (you may use another formatting style if you speak to me about it).

The Proposal must: be at least 1250 words, propose an action (purchase, research, policy change, etc.) for your place of business, contain four sources of outside information, properly cited, use Standard American English, be written in a coherent and organized manner.

Part 2- You are the CEO of the company that you discussed in a previous memo. You are being forced to shut down a certain department in your company. All employees in that department are to be laid off. You need to produce a document for legal reasons. Write a business letter to the president of the company which describes the department's role in the business, its recent performance, why it is being cut, what will be done to replace the productivity lost by the cuts, how you expect this to affect the business, and any other possible changes to the company, etc. This should be 500 words (single-spaced).
