Multiple Choice

Read the following request, which Shana sent to her supervisor. Then choose the answer below that best evaluates the email. SUBJECT: request for vacation time in October
Les, as we discussed yesterday, I would like to take the first week in October as vacation time. My niece is getting married, so I want to travel to San Francisco to help with last-minute planning. My current project ends September 20, so the trip should not interfere with any department deadlines. Would you be able to let me know by the end of this week so I can book my airline ticket while I can still get a discount rate?

• A) The email fails to provide a rationale for the request.
• B) The email does not have a specific enough subject line.
• C) The tone is too bossy, so it is inappropriate to send to a supervisor.
• D) The message does not show respect for Les's time.
• E) The email is specific, positive, and shows concern for the department.
