As you begin research for your speech on the lack of a "living wage" paid to many university maintenance workers,

you find that a professor at your university studies this topic in her research and who was rumored to be part of a hunger strike on behalf of wage fairness. Including a subject line, write a draft of the e-mail you would send this professor requesting an interview.
What will be an ideal response?

The best answers will:
1. follow all the guidelines from Learning Objective 6.7 to create a careful message that would encourage the professor to respond. Excellent answers will demonstrate Understanding of Concepts by, for example, drawing on combinations of L.O. 6.6 and L.O. 6.7 to write:
• a subject line like "Public Speaking Student—Re: Your Research on Wage Rights."
• a concise but respectful and informative "body."
2. Exceptional answers will mention such details as avoiding emoticons and other distracting textual elements, like typos.
