M1.6

Begin by choosing one of the following scenarios. You will notice that each of these scenarios requires you to communicate negative information in a professional way and with the goal of solving a problem. 
You’re a writer for a nuclear engineering magazine. In your research for your current project, which focuses on small modular reactors (SMRs), you have found three articles that suggest that the current protocols for connecting SMRs to the grid are ineffective, but your editor doesn’t want you to include that information. Your supervisor, who is not your editor, is new and was hired because of her magazine experience, but she doesn’t have a good understanding of nuclear engineering yet.  
You have recently been hired as an analyst in a large accounting firm. One of the requirements of your job is to write training materials for client engagements. This is typically a collaborative effort, but your teammates have just told you that they’re already finished with the project. As you review what they’ve put together, you realize that they have not credited or acknowledged their source material at all—that they’ve included information in the training materials as their own, even though they didn’t write it.  
You are a new project manager at an electrical engineering company. Part of your onboarding process is to review all the company policies and procedures. During your review, you realize that several of the technical visual aids, which are used to build complex electrical circuits for the company’s clients, include incorrectly labeled graphics. You’re concerned that the visual elements aren’t just misleading, but that they could also lead to a catastrophic failure at a client site. 
You’ve landed your dream job as a programmer in a large software company, and you’ve been assigned to your first project, which is an implementation at a hospital. When you review the proposal and technical specifications for the project, you find that information promised in the proposal cannot be delivered in a way that the sales team has suggested it can be. The workaround in the technical specifications doesn’t result in the hospital having the functionality it needs. 
Step 2: Craft Your Email
Write a short email consisting of three to four short (but complete) paragraphs. Include adequate information for your supervisor to understand the situation and take action on it. As you craft your email, be cognizant of your need to continue to work with any referenced teammates, co-workers, or supervisors moving forward. You should not need to cite any evidence from outside sources to complete this assignment. 
Your email should be formatted as any email would be, including the following elements: 

To line 
From line 
Subject line 
Body of email
