Q AIDA at Work: Choose one of the following scenarios and draft a persuasive letter to the appropriate entity utilizing the AIDA format we covered in this module. You should create any details that are needed to best craft your assignment. Assignment Instructions • You want Professor Cornell West to speak to your community group. You know Dr. West has written and spoken extensively on human rights, but you also know he is a very busy man. Write a letter, using AIDA, to convince him to make the time to speak to your group. • You own a retail store in downtown Lake Worth. You have noticed that your business has fallen by twenty percent since the city began enforcing parking violations more stringently. If your store loses out on any more business, you may have to close. Write a persuasive AIDA letter to the city council explaining why they should relax parking enforcement. • You are currently raising money for a local charity (you pick one). Using AIDA, write a persuasive letter to local businesses asking for donations to the charity you have chosen. Be specific about which charity you are representing and which business you are asking for donations. • You live on Main Street, which is riddled with potholes to the point that both drivers and pedestrians are at risk. In the last week, there have been two accidents where a driver swerved around a pothole and one car hit another vehicle and another narrowly missed a pedestrian. In the case of the car accident, the driver of the car that was hit suffered multiple fractures and cuts, even though the driver who swerved suffered no injuries. In the near miss with the pedestrian, a small child was nearly struck by the vehicle but was saved by their parent (who was outside with them at the time). Using concrete and specific details, as well as AIDA format (those included here and those you create on your own), write a letter to the local city council (city is Anywhere, FL) to get them to fix the potholes as soon as possible, before someone is killed.
