(1) For the first sentence, I think that some of the strengths would be that they are describing what type of company they are, which is pretty simple. Something I think could be a weakness would be that they use e-tailing which could have been changed to an online company or store due to the fact that they are contacting a company whose first language isn't English. The second sentence is letting the retailer know that they have good quality products which is why they selected them to be able to work with them. A weakness would be that their tone is more towards the preaching and bragging side, like they want the company to know they are a really selective brand, which is okay to be but I wouldn't like reading that in a business email. Another thing is that they are using the word "enough" multiple times which can be avoided. For the third sentence, one of the weaknesses would be the tone they are using, it feels like they are making fun of some other products in the market, and for me, it was a bit hard to read compared to the last two sentences. The last sentence is simpler to read than the last one which is a plus, I think one of the weaknesses would be that they don't mention where they want to add it too, which could be implied but I would mention it regardless.

Question

Discuss two ways your classmate leveraged the three components and tips of LO-3 (tone, plain language, active voice) to improve the paragraph and what the impact of those could be on the Inglesina company's reaction to the email.

Here is the work from my classmate:

For the first sentence, I think that some of the strengths would be that they are describing what type of company they are, which is pretty simple. Something I think could be a weakness would be
that they use e-tailing which could have been changed to an online company or store due to the fact that they are contacting a company whose first language isn't English. The second sentence is
letting the retailer know that they have good quality products which is why they selected them to be able to work with them. A weakness would be that their tone is more towards the preaching
and bragging side, like they want the company to know they are a really selective brand, which is okay to be but I wouldn't like reading that in a business email. Another thing is that they are using
the word "enough" multiple times which can be avoided. For the third sentence, one of the weaknesses would be the tone they are using, it feels like they are making fun of some other products in
the market, and for me, it was a bit hard to read compared to the last two sentences. The last sentence is simpler to read than the last one which is a plus, I think one of the weaknesses would be
that they don't mention where they want to add it too, which could be implied but I would mention it regardless.

I believe that this version of the email is much more easy to read than the one we started with. I made the tone more approachable and less braggy which would demonstrate the importance of
quality for the company without tearing apart other products. I also scratched words that made the email hard to read and used much simpler words and sentences.
