Persuasive Letter
You are the Front Office Manager for the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto. The General Manager, Paul Michaels, has informed you that The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, a company that has brought a conference to your hotel every summer for 10 years, has recently informed him of some bad news. They are looking at other hotels as options for their conference location for this summer; they have noted that the room prices of your property have been steadily increasing each year, and they have to be careful with their budget. As you can imagine, it will cost your company a lot of money if the Foundation chooses to hold their event at another property.
Paul has asked you to write the Regional Manager of The Heart and Stroke Foundation a personalized letter to attempt to persuade him to reconsider and to continue to do business with the Four Seasons.
- A – How will you get their attention in the opening of the letter without sounding forceful or fake?
- I – How will you build their interest to keep reading? How will you appeal to their logic and emotion? Why should they take an interest in your request?
- D – How will you build their desire to stay with Four Seasons? What benefits exist for them? Answer any potential questions they could have to avoid resistance. Why should they want to stay with you?
- A – How will you motivate the reader to action without sounding pushy or aggressive?

Dear Sir/madam,
RE: PERSUASIVE LETTER FOR RECONSIDERING BUSINESS PATNERSHIP WITH THE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL.
Following the notice given to our hotel General Manager, Paul Michael’s, I humbly present this piece of writing to wholly apologise for all inconveniences caused and failure of our stakeholders to comply to your expectations. We have partnered with your company for quite a long period of time and we will be highly impacted if by any chance you consider relocating to other hotels for holding summer conferences alongside other luxurious moves.
There has been a steady annual increase in our room charge rates, the main reason to this was need to improve standards as it was considered crucial by our stakeholders
