GENERAL WRITING TASK 1

GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
Write a letter to your manager about your work from the last year. Include
– What you did
– What you think you could improve
– A training request
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear DBS,
I am writing in response to your request for the annual self appraisal report. Over the last 12 months I have managed to reorganise the entire accounting department by promoting Mr Kevin Malone to a leadership position.
Miss Angela Martin has been transferred to become the product lead for the new range we launched. Furthermore, to improve efficiency I had to let go of Mr. Toby Flanders because we realised we could outsource his work abroad. Since his removal the office morale has increased significantly. I think there is definite room for improvement in sales; a few employees get distracted too easily. We can solve this by implementing a cubicle system so as to reduce contact between staff.
I also think we could outsource reception and secretary tasks abroad and further cut costs.
Finally, I am willing to implement all the above but I believe it could be executed flawlessly if I were to receive training. I believe if the company allowed me one day off a week to complete my evening MBA, I would be able to not only save money for the company but also potentially bring in new higher calibre team members.
Best regards,
ABS
