Answer to Question 1

B
When using memos or e-mails to communicate messages that contain bad news, a writer
should avoid using the direct approach. If the message contains good news, writers should
use the direct approach; if the message contains bad news, they should use the indirect
approach.

Answer to Question 2

C
Ending the e-mail with just your first name rather than a complimentary closing will not be
considered unprofessional when writing a formal e-mail. A complimentary closing is not
necessary; just type your name at the end of your message.
