text: ENG227 Week3 Routine Message
  Back to TopA large percentage of the writing we do in the workplace involves writing routine, neutral, and/ or goodwill messages. Routine and neutral messages cover a wide range of topics, from the ordinary (e.g., sending colleagues a reminder to attend a meeting) to the more detailed (e.g., updating a supervisor about a project).
  In Week 3, Anne Brown, the division manager for E227 Global Solutions, is asking you to write an individual routine message, which will be formatted as a memo. In order to complete this assignment you must follow the steps below:
  - Read the trucking supervisor's email.
  - Read Anne Brown’s memo (available in Doc Sharing) and pay close attention to the questions asked at the bottom of the memo.
  - Use the Week 3 Routine Planning Questions (in Doc Sharing) to assist you with preparing your routine message to Anne Brown.
  - Follow the Specific Guidelines below when drafting your routine message to Anne Brown. This assignment is related to the Week 4 Collaborative Analytical Report (see Doc Sharing for details on the Week 4 Assignment) that you will be completing with your team next wee
