devry eng227 week 5 assignment

You have been navigating the waters at E227 Global Solutions quite nicely
these past few weeks, and you are feeling confident that you can handle any
writing task that comes your way. Then, you learn of a delicate situation
involving one of the company’s long-time friends and supporters. Your
writing skills are going to be tested as you are asked to craft a response
refusing the request made by our corporate ally. This is no ordinary
refusal, since a valuable corporate relationship is at stake. You must approach
this message with care and plan accordingly.
View the scenario which will provide the background you need to proceed with
the message.

Message Planning Questions found in Doc Sharing. Insert your responses

new page on the planning questionnaire, and submit as ONE Word document.

scenario presented in the Negative and Bad News Message tab. Answer the case
questions related to each step directly on this form. For the three-step process questions, you may
