From the Paper:

"The following is a scenario that has occurred in many work places. A mid-level manager has written a memo and his writing skills are inadequate. He has inadvertently hurt the feelings of some of the employees. Despite his efforts to assuage their feelings, he has been unsuccessful. The employees have become sullen and uncommunicative to him and other managers and he has noticed that they have been short with customers on the phone and in person. You have determined that, although the company has many talented employees in their respective fields, many of the employees need to improve their writing skills. You decide to ask the manager if a workshop to improve writing skills could be arranged for the employees. This will take time away from work and will cost the company money for the workshop to be put on, so your request needs to be accompanied by reasons that this will be valuable to the company."
