Appendix A: Make an Appointment for an Interview Look over the following list of individuals, and draft an imaginary e-mail

to each one, requesting an appointment to meet with them for an interview. Remember to keep in mind register (how formal the e-mail should be), correct formatting, politeness, a reason for requesting an interview, as well as an appropriate opening and closing.

If there are problems with the article, make the necessary changes and have them look at it again. Once they give you approval, publish the final article to our class Padlet.
