Do you find one email more or less trustworthy than the other? Why? Do you think the emails are written appropriately for their audience?
How does tone Affect Meaning? We will consider why tone matters in our writing. To begin, read the two emails:
email # 1: Hey boss,
just checking in about yesterday's meeting? Funny how the client completely changed their mind about the design! I guess we will have to go back to the drawing board on that one. Maybe 2 more boards would make them see our side of things.....
ugi. I'll bring in the interns. Wednesday good for you?

Hi George,
I am writing to debrief about yesterday's meeting with Client X. It seems like we were unable to interpret their vision in our presentation, so I was thinking it might be helpful to bring in some fresh eyes on the process. I would like to gather the interns for a meeting on Wednesdayand brainstorm two additional storyboards for the client. Are you available around noon?
Regards, Jim

Do you think the writers are serious about the subject? Why or whynot
Do you find one email more or less trustworthy than the other? Why?
