On-line assignment #3 Letter to the Editor

You want the readers and editors to know where your information came from,
so mention for example, data comes from the FBI Crime Report 2020
Note that a letter to an editor does not require APA formatting or a reference page.
Indicate your expertise, for example
“I a graduation senior BASW student at SU working ______ with this population and ….”

Say what you want to see happen/get done, such as a change in a law or more resources.
When you submit a letter to an editor you “sign it” with your full name and title (if you have one).Below the letter but not included in the 250 word letter itself
Always include all your contact info at the end, your email, phone number and address so if need be they can verify the letter is indeed from you. They will not publish this information.
Example

Plan and Communicate a Time-Based Task

Touchstone: Plan and Communicate a Time-Based Task
SCENARIO: On Monday morning, you arrive at work and discover you have an email from your manager, Sara, about a customer service issue. She is worried because one of the company’s most important clients did not receive their shipment. While she acknowledges it isn’t your fault, she needs you to work quickly to resolve the issue. Her email outlines some tasks that must be completed in order to address the problem and fast track the solution:

So last Friday, our client didn’t receive their shipment, and now it’s Monday, making it three days late. We need this problem fixed soon. I need you to email Renee Colon, the client’s executive assistant, right away. Apologize for the delay and let her know we’re fixing this issue, but don’t overdo it. Make sure they know we appreciate their business. Then, contact Accounts Receivable. Have them issue a full refund on the customer’s delivery costs and send confirmation of the refund to them as well. Make sure the client is not charged for the new delivery either. And have Shipping expedite the new shipment and send tracking info to the customer. If you contact both departments by the end of today, Accounts Receivable should be done by Tuesday at the latest, and Shipping should have the package out the door with tracking by Wednesday.

The table below lists the relevant tasks and deadlines that need to be done to accomplish the stated goals. (I WILL UPLOAD THE TABLE IN THO DOCUMENTS SECTION)

ASSIGNMENT: This assignment has two parts. The first part is to prepare a clear and concise email communication (no more than two paragraphs in the body of the email) to the customer that will inform them about the new delivery date and the refund to compensate for the inconvenience.

The second part is to communicate an internal plan regarding the refunding and redelivery of the shipment. You will draft a message to your colleagues in the Accounts Receivable and Shipping departments about the time frame of each task that clearly identifies who has which task and by what time it needs to be completed.

In your reading of Gundry this session, the author argued that Romans 1:16-17 serves as the theme of all of the epistles. Study this verse and continue reading all the way through Romans 8 (Romans 1:16-18). As you read, trace this theme in Romans 2-8. In a 2-3 paragraph response, briefly discuss how the theme of 1:16-17 is evident throughout Romans chapters 2-8. Make sure that you reference any material that you are citing.

applying firewalls to counter cybersecurty threat to enterprises.

My research paper is applying firewalls to counter cybersecurity threat to enterprises.
It’s about choosing the best firewall among packet-filtering, proxy, and new generation firewall. Based on three criteria effectiveness, cost, and accessibility.
I am going to attach my research proposal, outline and feedback from professor.
(My research outline doesn’t have a proper source for the cost and accessibility. So please find some proper peer-reviewed source to prove my points.)
The research paper targets a specialist audience, so you should avoid definitions and explanation of engineering concepts in the Introduction and the Background sections.
Your working thesis suggests a comparison method of development of the Discussion section. Within that general structure, other patterns may come into play. Your working thesis might change in the process of writing the first draft, and this is perfectly acceptable. Remember that your working thesis is written in sand, not on stone.
Make sure you blend your analysis (claims) with supporting evidence from the articles. The focus of the paper in the discussion section should be your claims, not a summary of the articles. When your goal is to persuade the audience, then you definitely need more than “just the facts”. You will use specific facts and most recent concrete findings to support your position. Remember that evidence can be left rarely to speak for itself. You cannot assume that it can be interpreted in only one way. Merely juxtaposing the evidence to the claim leaves out the critical thinking that connects them. Your claims must be substantiated and the evidence should not be pointless. Your evidence from the research sources must confirm your claims. It should be properly cited in the text.
