OPTIONAL: Independent Practice: (revising a bad news letter) -- The following bad newss letter does not abide by bad news letter writing guidelines. Rewrite it fully, applying proper format and content requirements: To whom it may concern at our technology institution, Note that your petition for travel funds to travel to the Nano Technology Conference in China has been denied. The institution has limited funds available for travel this year and although I know you really want to go, I can't afford to give you the $1500 you requested (which by the way is a lot to request at this late date at the current time of this request; haven’t you noticed that???). You have to understand our position. Thank you anyways for writing to us. Good luck in your future trials.
