Subj: Expansion Proposal

Hello Alex,

As you know, I’m currently the project manager on the Sauce & Spoon tablet project. I’m
emailing you as a critical-thinking professional in the industry and hoping to gain your support
to help convince Omar that expanding the rollout is a bad idea.

Currently, there is a strong discussion toward rolling out the project to all dining areas and not
just the bar. I’m opposed to this idea and hope you will consider supporting me in my
reasoning. If we go bigger, we will significantly exceed our budget and timeline, we’ll need
more time and resources to train and hire additional staff, and I think our customer satisfaction
will begin to go down because we are not set up for such a large-scale adoption.

We’ve both worked in this industry for a long time and have been through optimistic
expansions that go wrong. I hope you’ll consider helping me show Omar that it’s better to start
small in this case.

Sincerely,
Peta

Hello Seydou,

While we haven’t worked together for that long, I have a lot of respect for what you’ve
accomplished in your role and feel you have a deep understanding of the critical roles in this
launch. I hope you’ll consider helping me show Omar that it’s better to start small in this case.

Sincerely,
Peta
