Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Request messages should be closed with a request for some specific action, information about how you can be reached, and an expression of appreciation. Concluding your note with Thank you or Thanks for your help is fine, although Thank you in advance is considered stuffy and presumptuous.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Close your message with three important elements: (1) a specific request that includes any relevant deadlines, (2) information about how you can be reached (if it isn't obvious), and (3) an expression of appreciation or goodwill.
