Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) In most cases (but not all), you should provide an explanation. A carefully worded explanation won't confuse your audience, no matter whether it's internal or external. When you're writing to an important customer, a detailed explanation in a negative message can help you maintain that business relationship.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: In any negative message, your main goals are to (1) convey the bad news, (2) gain acceptance for it, (3) maintain as much goodwill as possible, (4) maintain a good image for your organization, and (5) (if appropriate) reduce or eliminate the need for future correspondence on the matter.
