For the purposes of this assignment, please assume you have the ability to make decisions on behalf of the organization. Remember that you are now a representative of the organization rather than the person filing a claim. Evaluate the following:
· Is the evidence provided sufficient?
· Is the proposed solution appropriate?
· What course of action is in the best interest of the organization you are representing?
Summarize your findings in a paragraph or two.
Based on your findings, write an appropriate professional response.

Claim Letter
Audience Analysis
Assignment Specifications – Audience Analysis
By now you have become accustomed to think about your audience before you start writing, and making a claim is no different. For this audience analysis address the following in a paragraph:
Primary audience (the person who will be able to make decisions in this matter)
Needs of the primary audience
Best tactic to get maximum possible benefit
Secondary audience (any person not directly involved in the decision-making process, such as a person reviewing and forwarding the messages, an auditor, or a supervising manager (this person can, of course, become a member of the primary audience at any time).
Needs of the secondary audience
Any other things you may need to consider.
Assignment Specifications – Claim Letter or Email
Remain factual in your claim letter or email. Don’t get angry or emotional since facts, not feelings, get results.
In paragraph 1, give the facts by briefly describing the purchase. Give the date, place, item, and cost. Add information about the salesperson, delivery, and installation as needed to support your claim.
In paragraph 2, explain what went wrong in a factual way that shows that you were not to blame. If you are requesting damages, be sure to include estimates and documentation.
In the next paragraph(s), be very specific (but reasonable) about what you want and when you want it. If you want a full cash refund and additional money for damages, say so. Don’t let the reader decide what you should receive. Close your letter or email in a brief but positive way.
Document your letter or email with a list of receipts, warranties, estimates, photographs, or other evidence to support your claim. You do not need to provide such materials for this assignment; only list them on the enclosure line. You also want to refer to the evidence in the letter or email itself.
You can find an example in the presentation accompanying Chapter 7, posted under Reading Assignments.
