After reading the above scenario, write a brief (fictional) message to each of the following people, thinking through what role that person has, what you’ll need from them, and what they need in order for you to accomplish your goals. And finally, you’ll reflect on the writing you’ve done.

Write to a team member in that class: You were assigned a group project with at least one other student. Write to your fellow student and let them know you won’t be in class and may not be able to contribute for the near future.
Write to someone you want to take on the cruise with you: This can be anyone you can think of, but try to think through what they would have to change, reschedule, or put off in order to join you for a trip to Iceland.
Delivery: How would you actually send each of these messages, assuming you couldn’t deliver the information in person? Would you use email, a text message, or some other form of communication?

Did you include a different details or use a different tone when writing to the readers in prompts 1, 2, and 3? What do you know about the reader that led you to adopt that particular strategy ( The assignment in the word document)
