When preparing a routine request, what approach is most appropriate to use?

A) Persuasive
B) Indirect approach
C) Bulleted facts
D) Direct approach
E) Social media

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Like all other business messages, routine requests have three parts: an opening, a body, and a close. Using the direct approach, open with your main idea, which is a clear statement of your request. Use the body to give details and justify your request, then close by requesting specific action.
