Business Letter to a Restaurant
Writing Focus: formal business letters
Think about your most recent meal at your favorite
restaurant. What were the positive and negative aspects of
the meal? How could the restaurant further improve its food
and service?
Write a letter to the manager of your favorite restaurant in
which you provide comments and suggestions regarding the
restaurant, service, or food. As you write your letter, be sure
to use a format and tone appropriate for a business letter.
As you write, remember your essay will be scored based
on how well you:
develop a multi-paragraph response to the assigned topic
that clearly communicates your controlling idea to the
audience.
support your controlling idea with meaningful examples,
reasons, and information based upon your research or
readings.
organize your essay in a clear and logical manner, including
an introduction, body, and conclusion.
use well-structured sentences and language that are
appropriate for your audience.
edit your work to conform to the conventions of standard
American English.
Complete your pre-writing on the back and bring on
Monday to the computer lab.
