Dear Nico,
Here are your tasks for today.
I need you to write the announcement for our website to show our support for Teen NetChef TV star William Puddle. His cooking video went viral recently, for all the wrong reasons: see the article from Big Cheese Celebrity Food Gossip that I’ve sent you. I’ve discussed this in a chat with William, which I’ll send to you as well, so we can present his side of the story. Make sure you acknowledge and explain William’s mistake, but also explain the misunderstandings that people have about the other events in the video.
I also need you to write an email to all staff to recommend training courses for the coming year. Dante Cruz’s most recent email sets the scene for this, so take a look at that first. All the available courses have been posted on our Corporate Training Intranet page, along with reviews from previous participants. Three courses will be enough: briefly describe the three courses staff should sign up for (I think it’s pretty clear which three stand out) and explain how their work will benefit from each one.
Next, please write the script for the promotional video for our new cookery show Viewer’s Choice. I’ve sent you a draft of the storyboard for the video, along with comments from Dante, so you know what to write about. Be careful, though: we’ve made several changes since that draft. Make sure you have the most up-to-date information in your script. I remember both William and Dante giving some updates recently.
Finally, we discussed all of the above at the most recent online staff meeting. I’ve sent you the recording (I’m still working on the minutes). Listen to our discussion.
Thanks,
Archie
