Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C) In this situation, your boss may not be aware of the understaffing in your department and will be reluctant to approve the additional expenditures this recommendation proposes. So using indirect organization is the favored approach. In such a case your subject line should not directly identify your recommendation, but rather hint at it as this one does. Several of the choices incorrectly identify the proposal, and one of them is very vague and gives no idea about what the email is about.
