You are the owner of Associate Property Management. The following letter was drafted by one of your employees in response to a deposit refund claim from a prior tenant.Dear Henry Spencer,We read your letter, requesting your deposit refund. We couldn’t figure out why you hadn’t received it, so we talked to our maintenance engineer, as you suggested. He said you had left one of the doors off the hinges in your apartment in order to get a large sofa through the door. He also confirmed that you had paid him $5.00 to replace the door since you had to turn in the U-haul trailer and were in a big hurry.This entire situation really was caused by a lack of communication between our housekeeping inspector and the maintenance engineer. All we knew was that the door was off the hinges when it was inspected by Sally Tarnley. You know that our policy states that if anything is wrong with the apartment, we keep the deposit. We had no way of knowing that George just hadn’t gotten around to replacing the door.But, we have good news. We approved the deposit refund, which will be mailed to you from our home office in Teaneck, New Jersey. I’m not sure how long that will take, however. If you don’t receive the check by the end of next month, give me a call.Next time, it’s really a good idea to stay with your apartment until it’s inspected, as stipulated in your lease agreement. That way, you’ll be sure to receive your refund when you expect it. Hope you have a good summer.Your taskThe letter is not written well; you need to rewrite the letter to Henry Spencer (19475 N. Main Street, McMinnville, OR 97128) before it can be sent out. Make sure you use correct letter format, including a letterhead and inside address.Letter Format Requirements1. Use Microsoft Word – this is to practice what you have completed in SIMNet.2. Use Times New Roman 11 point font for the letter.3. SINGLE SPACE the letter (this means either set Word to single space or use the “No Spacing” Style in the Word dashboard). Do not use the default spacing.4. Use a 1” margin for the letter.5. Use Block format for the letter (see Appendix B – page 563 for this format).6. Create a letterhead for Associate Property Management (you can be as creative or basic as you want with the letterhead). Make sure to include all the necessary company information (company name, complete address, and phone number are minimum requirements for the letterhead).7. Sign the letter with your actual name (and then use the title from the assignment).8. Think about first impressions with the letter – how does the layout look from the reader’s point of view.9. Will you include any notations (see the bottom of page 564)?10. Turn the letter in as a WORD document – not as a PDF or from Google Docs. This needs to be a Word file. You will be graded on your use of Word in creating this document.Hints to rewrite a strong letter:• What is your overall goal of the letter? What do you want the reader to know and what does the reader already know? Remember, this letter is in RESPONSE to a letter from the reader.• What should your first paragraph be? Untangle the information presented and figure out what is necessary and what can be left out.• Is this a good news or bad news letter? So, what should be in the first paragraph?• Will you rewrite the letter using direct or indirect format? This will help you decide what should go in to the first paragraph.• If you were receiving this letter, how would you want it to be worded and what information would be required to satisfy you? (Write for the reader!)• A comma after the salutation is informal punctuation – use a colon after the salutation unless you know the audience well.• Important: Don’t just change a few words and rewrite the letter. It is important to reorganize the information, leave some information out and add some information as necessary, and then present it to the reader in the best way possible. You will be graded on the overall letter – first impression, layout, and information. Remember, be as specific as possible (think about when the check will arrive) and create information to strengthen the message. Can you “create” information to complete the letter? Yes– as necessary to provide the reader with as much information as necessary.• Remember, ALL letters must be at least 3 paragraphs in length.• Remember to proofread and revise this letter; let it sit for a time and then review it. Look at the flow of information to the reader.
