To: Ben Greenidge
From: Nirmala Deokaran
Subject: Request
Date: 13 January
Dear Mr. Greenidge,
I kindly request that management consider entering company in the CASATO Virtual Business Tournament. The competition, organized by the Caribbean & South American Trade Organization (CASATO), requires participants to develop and implement business strategies that ensure the long-term stability and continuity of an imaginary company.
Participation in this event could be highly beneficial to our company. Though many tournament participants occupy non-decision-making positions in their organization, the contest demands that they apply a broad range of leadership practices. In the process, most become more appreciative of the day-to-day realities and complexities of managing an actual company. Moreover, they tend to apply the skills acquired or refined during the competition such as collaboration, analysis, and problem-solving — in actual work situations. Additionally, participation in the event may increase our company's profile, opening up new markets for our products. Roughly six months after last year’s tournament, about one-third of the 70 companies that had taken part in that event reported an increase in regional business activities.
Details about the tournament are available at www.casato.org/events/tournamem_information.
Sincerely.
Nirmala Deokaran
Flight Dispatcher
