From:
Amaan Shah,
General Manager,
Lebanon General Imports and Exports Co. Ltd,
P.O.Box 3988-00200,
Beirut - Lebanon.
19th November 2021.
Mr. Robert Sanchez,
Managing Director and CEO
Lebanon General Imports and Exports Co. Ltd,
P.O.Box 3988-00200,
Beirut - Lebanon.
Dear Mr.Robert
Thank you for your time. I appreciate all the opportunities Lebanon General has offered me and I
hope to continue my employment and professional growth here. I am reaching out to request a
reduction in work hours because of increasing working hours during work from home.
Ever since the start of the COVID 19 pandemic we have been forced to make drastic measures to
curb the disease with one of them being working from home. I express my gratitude to the IT
department for enabling us to work remotely conveniently without having to stop the work or worse
retrench or make some positions redundant.
This new way of doing things has come with its fair share of challenges with one of them being the
lack of differentiation between office and non office hours. Like for my case you find that I am
spending most of my free time attending meetings especially with overseas clients in odd hours and
this has been the norm for over an year now.
This has led me to writing this letter to persuade the management to enforce the previous working
hours from 9am to 7pm to ensure that the employees get enough rest and do not suffer from
burnout as well as spend time with their families and also run their personal errands.
Emergency/International callers can be attended as an exception during odd hours from time to time
as per the requirement.
Requesting consideration on my plea.
Kind Regards
A.S
Amaan Shah

Answer 3 a
The passage contains inappropriate phrases. Several etiquette mistakes should be considered to
correct to make it sound appropriate to the audience. There are numerous cases where language
has been misused. For example, “Men would fall in love with the adventurous treks and camps we
provide,” the author should have written this way: Men would like our exciting and adventurous
treks and camps. The developer ought not to include the statement "though our rates are high".
This will basically deter interested customers from using their services. The developer included an
inappropriate statement "special customers". This is inappropriate in the sense that some customers
may view it as if some other customers are treated well as compared to them. Another statement
that is not appropriate is "Bag packers are not out clients." This may send a negative signal to any
rational customer.
