1. Start by creating a contact group. Add your coworker (classmate) to the group.

2. Write an email to your coworker asking the person to take a quick survey. Be sure to include the following elements in your email.

a. Subject line that tells why the email is important

b. Greeting that sets a casual, but professional, tone to a coworker

d. Closing that maintains the tone

3. Copy and paste these survey questions into a document and attach the document to your email:

1) What type of office layout would you prefer: open workspaces or closed-off cubicles?

2) Do you feel an open office would encourage collaboration with your coworkers? Explain why.

4. Send the email to your coworker (classmate) at ABC Solutions.

5. When your coworker responds, forward the whole conversation to your manager (teacher).

6. Your coworker will also be sending you an original email. Respond to the email in a professional way (you do not have to actually take the survey). When you respond to your coworker, mark the email as private because the survey results will be confidential. Save the email attachment from your coworker onto your computer. Finally, email the saved file to your manager (teacher).

7. Now use the instant message service in your email program to send a quick message to your manager (teacher). You will ask your manager if it’s alright for you to take an extended lunch break today.

8. When your manager responds, you will set up an Out of Office message for that day from 1:00 P. M. to 2:30 P. M. Your manager will send you an email during this time to ensure you have correctly used the Out of Office feature.
