Need help with my Sociology question – I’m studying for my class.

One of your colleagues, Katina Vander, was recently promoted to department manager and now serves on the company’s strategic planning committee. At its monthly meeting next week, the committee will choose an employee to lead an important market research project that will help define the company’s product portfolio for the next five years.

You worked side by side with Vander for five years, so she knows your abilities well and has complimented your business insights on many occasions. You know that because she has only recently been promoted to manager, she needs to build credibility among her peers and will therefore be cautious about making such an important recommendation. On the other hand, making a stellar recommendation for such an important project would show that she has a good eye for talent—an essential leadership trait.

Your Task: Write an email message to Vander, telling her that you are definitely interested in leading the project and asking her to put in a good word for you with the committee. Mention four attributes that you believe would serve you well in the role: a dozen years of experience in the industry, an engineering degree that helps you understand the technologies involved in product design, a consistent record of excellence or exceptional ratings in annual employee evaluation, and the three years you spent working in the company’s customer support group, which gave you a firsthand look at customer satisfaction and quality issues. Make up any additional details you need to write the message.
