Business communications Persuasive Request

Rotary Club Invites Speaker

The Rotary Club in your city would like to invite the attorney general of your state to speak at its monthly meeting. Although the attorney general seldom accepts these kinds of invitations, you believe that you can persuade her to make an exception by asking her to discuss one of her special projects, ethical business practices. A complicating factor for you is that the meeting you want the attorney general to attend is only two months away.

Required: As secretary of the Rotary Club, write this request, adding whatever terms of persuasion you feel would be necessary to influence the attorney general to accept the invitation. Address the letter to Ms. Susan Reston, the attorney general of your state.
