Greenlawn Safety Memo
Revisions to Improve Original Letter
I have reviewed your response letter to Mrs. Smith’s concerns and it has come to my notice that your letter needs a bit of improvement. Below are my suggestions on how you can make the letter more effective in responding to Mrs. Smith concerns.
Your letter is generally a form of business letter that is responding to a customer’s concern so it should follow the techniques of writing a professional business letter. In such a letter, the introduction part should begin with a brief explanation of which you are in the company and why you are writing the letter. Explaining your relation to the company will give the customer, Mrs. Smith, confidence in you by knowing that you are in a recognized position in the company and in a position to answer to her claims. An explanation of why you are writing the letter will be useful in preparing the readers mind on what to expect. In your letter, the introduction has jumped straight to the explanation of the safety of the company’s chemicals. This is not appropriate in a letters introductory part.
After the introduction part is finalized, now the first paragraph of your letter should come in as the second paragraph, though it needs some review. In this paragraph, you have generalized the response. Mrs. Smith’s concern is that the company’s products may also be harmful as the other companies in the same line of business as ours. Your response should therefore be more specific and be directed to our company in a clear way. In your response in this paragraph, you have talked about the materials used by landscaping companies instead of our company. It is quite clear that some landscaping companies are using harmful materials according to Mrs. Smith and so you should try and differentiate our company from the rest.
In the second paragraph of your letter, the evidence used is not good enough. The example of a dog is not as powerful in convincing the safety of the materials in our company. Try

For quite some time now there has been some type of illness within our community that has been affecting the young and the old.

    It is with great concern that I am writing this letter to address the public health of our community. Recently, there have been a number of children and adults who have strangely started to develop similar illnesses. The one thing each of these people has in common is that they all live right here in our community. My feels were that these sudden illnesses were not a matter of coincidence but instead a matter or poor practice. This feeling has proven to be accurate. Upon further investigation, it is has come to light that the reckless policies of our local gas company are endangering the health of our community. Contamination testing done on our water supply as well as soil tests shows extremely high amounts of a toxic chemical that is used by the gas company. This chemical that the company is releasing into our community has been linked to various illnesses that are similar to the ones experienced by our citizens. Interviews with two former employees of the gas company reveal that they were aware of this chemical leaking into our community water supply but the issue continually got swept under the rug. It was these employees belief that the company felt there was not enough of the toxic chemical being leaked to cause health problems. They are not aware as to how our local gas company came up with this irresponsible solution but we are aware as to how it has caused life-threatening illness among our community. Management at the company had no response when asked if they were aware of contamination so it is apparent that we must speak out as a community. Although not all of you have been affected by this shocking behavior, you are bound to be in the future unless we take the appropriate steps. We must unite together and demand changes in the company’s policies so that they are no longer poisoning the citizens of our tight knit community. We shall not give up this fight until we have reached a solution that keeps our health the…
