MEMO 1
Memo
To:  Ronnie
Ray, Athletic Director
From:  Tim
Franklin, Head Coach Women’s Basketball
CC:  Karin
Mann, Associate Athletic Director

Subject:    Funding for a business writing course at
Naugatuck Valley Community College
I am writing to request funding to take a business-writing
course at Naugatuck Valley Community College. This class will assist me with
writing to different businesses around the Waterbury community for our athletic
and women’s basketball fundraising needs.
The course will help me tailor my communications in the
appropriate format and for the designated audiences. The professor who teaches
has the extensive understanding of the type of business writing that I will
need in order to bring increased dollars for our athletic fund. This course
will help me communicate with local and national high school and club coaches,
high school administrators, parents, and other college coaches in a
professional manner.
Our University will benefit from the increase in positive responses
from our alumnae, local businesses and colleagues in our fundraising efforts. The
class, Effective Writing on the Job,
is offered on November 10 and 17 from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. both days. The
total cost of the class is 300 dollars. It is offered at Naugatuck Valley
Community College’s main campus, which is 10 minutes from Post University. The
dates and times will not interfere with my work schedule because I would work
on Saturday and Sunday prior to those two Mondays in order to offset the
missing time.
To register on time, I would need the following paperwork on
September 16, 2016 by 5:00 p.m. Since this would be a third-party payment, a
tuition authorization letter must accompany my student registration. This
letter must be on Post’s letterhead. It
should include my full name, Taj McWilliams-Franklin and the course title and
number: Effective Writing on the Job,
CRN: 4144. It must include the name and address of the responsible party in
order to send the invoice. The statement must include the university’s promise
to pay with the tuition amount ($300.00) included.
I am asking for funding to take the business-writing course,
Effective Writing on the Job, from

Naugatuck Valley Community College in order to improve all aspects of my
professional writing correspondences that are sent to parents, high school
coaches, prospective student-athletes, alumnae, and local businesses. If
approved, I will need the tuition authorization paperwork by September 16, 2016
by 5:00 p.m. If you need anything else from me, please reach out to me via the
Lync online messaging system, email me directly at [email protected], or call me at
601-922-3021. Thank you for your time.

In the distance learning community, the majority of

districts network throughout the distance learning community. Thank you for
