Discussion Question:

How to effectively convey disappointing news in a letter   In your professional life, you will face a variety of situations when you will have to write a letter to convey any disappointing news to your reader. In such situations, your success will depend on how effectively you communicate the refusal in an inoffensive way.   Read the below given scenario carefully and critically evaluate the poorly written body of the letter. The letter body is not effectively communicating the negative or bad news. Identify why it is not the effective way to communicate bad news and discuss which approach and ways will be more effective to convey this bad news.   Scenario:   “A drama producer working in any famous TV channel receives an invitation for a workshop from XYZ University. This University arranges this workshop on drama production for its students of mass communication yearly and invites the same producer to deliver a special lecture on drama production. Unfortunately, producer is unable to attend the workshop this year due to his other professional commitments. Now he has to write a letter of refusal to that invitation”.   Letter Body:   Unfortunately, I would not be able to attend the workshop as I am occupied in my other professional commitments this year. I am engaged in some outdoor productions scheduled abroad for our TV play that is to be on aired by this month which is taking all my time. I express my regret for not being guest speaker at University’s upcoming workshop.

Accompanying so many goals in a single message is not easy. But you can make your bad-news messages
effective by:
1. Adopting an audience-centered tone
2. Organize your message to meet your reader’s needs and expectations by using direct or indirect
approach." also read chp no 37 carefully
