Letter writing is an often used to convey information in today’s business world. The two-fold purpose of this assignment is to help you better develop your letter writing skills, while becoming more familiar with the Code of Ethics for a company of your choice. By completing this assignment, you should become more familiar with the current issues of IT and relate them to a real world situation. For this assignment, you will be required to write a letter that is at least 500 words in length, not including the citacion page. You will be graded on the contents of the letter, how well the letter meets the listed requirements for the assignment, spelling, and grammar.

Task 1: Select a company to research and address the letter. It must be a company that is one of the top 500 companies found on the Fortune 500 list of companies headquartered in the United States. For your assistance, you may view the lists on the following websites: http://fortune.com/global500/ or http://fortune.com/fortune500/. The companies on the 2016 or 2017 or 2018 listing should currently be available.

Task 2: After you select a company, upload the name of your company on the Discussions Board, so that no one else will select that company. Only one person may select a company. No two people can select the same company. As a result, you should post the name of the company you are selecting, after checking the list to see if anyone else has selected that company, to avoid duplication. The list will determine who posted the company name first. (See the example, showing how to paste the names of the companies.) Make certain you post the name in the Name of the thread, so that it is readily viewable.

Task 3: Next, write a letter of introduction. Keep in mind that letters are written to satisfy all kinds of requirements. This letter should be written in a letter of introduction format. See the attached example. This is just an example to show the format for the letter. The letter should include an introduction, body, and conclusion. It should be written as a letter and consist of more than one paragraph. The letter should clearly state the following:

• Indicate the official name of the company (you should address the letter to the CEO of the company),
• Indicate the company’s Fortune 500 ranking number (this should be listed in the letter somewhere),
• Include the company’s home office located (this is the address to which you will send the letter),
• State the name of the CEO of the company (this is the name of the person to whom you will actually address the letter),
• Include the main purpose of the company (how do they generate revenue),
• State where they operate (Is this a company that only operates in the US or do they operate in other countries, too?),
• Indicate a job that you find interesting within the company and the salary (Based on your major, select a job that represents your interests and explain why you are well suited for this job at this company. Or, select a computer or MIS related job for which you are well suited. )
• Determine if they have a Code of Ethics/Conduct for their corporation (in the US). (If the company does not have a Code of Ethics for their US operations, you should find another company to research.)
• Provide a description of what the Code of Ethics states. It should not be a word-for-word description. Instead, your description should provide a commentary that summarizes the contents of several of the tenets of the Code of Ethics. It should be more than a couple of sentences.
• Most important, the letter should include a statement indicating how well you can (or cannot) adhere to this Code of Ethics.
• There should be a list of references at the end. See below for more information on the references. The references do not need to be a part of the letter; rather, it should state the references that you used to research and find information to use in the letter.
• Use the Word Count feature of MSWord and post the word count at the end of your references.
• No abstract is needed.

Task 4: Either (1) create a Grammarly account (www.grammarly.com) and check your letter to make sure it is grammatically correct, or, (2) contact the tutors in the Writing & Reading Center – Writing Lab (https://www.uhd.edu/academics/writing-center/Pages/writing…) to have someone review your work so that you can make corrections.

Task 5: Turnitin has a tool to check for plagiarism: Originality/Similarity Reports. Use Turnitin Revision link to upload, revise, and re-upload the assignment to check your work, before uploading it for FINAL grading by the instructor. You can submit the assignment multiple times to check for plagiarism problems, and refine the letter as needed.

Task 6: Finally, submit your letter to the BB/Assignments/Assignment 2. First, copy and paste the entire document (letter and references); then attach the file both as PDF and .docx.

References:

Do not use or include any Wikipedia resource as a reference.

Do not use books for resources as a reference.

When using websites, each web page on a single website is a part of the same reference.

Make sure you have at least 3 references that are less than 3 years old.

Citations:

Utilize APA formatting for citations. You will want to use a tool such as www.citationmachine.net to assist you with correctly reference formatting. In addition, you may want to use a pdf document with more information at APA Citation Style (PDF), and/or watch a video on creating a document at How to Format a Letter in APA Style (Video).

You should make the citation, copy it, and then paste each of the references into the reference section on a separate page after the letter, in alphabetical order. Label this section as References.
