Email Writing Assignment

We have seen the development and importance of a company’s mission statement in class. We 

will soon discuss business ethics and corporate social responsibility. Johnson & Johnson (J&J) 

has been in business since the 1800’s. They offer consumer healthcare products, medical 

devices, and pharmaceutical products around the globe. 

For this assignment, there will be an element of make-believe. (Normally, a business email 

would be short and to the point.) Assume you are the Training & Development Coordinator for 

Johnson & Johnson. You oversee new hire orientation. Send an email addressed to “New 

Hires.” 

I have attached a link to J&J’s Credo at the bottom of this page-

a statement of J&J’s 

corporate commitments to stakeholders and its beliefs. Read this Credo. 

In your own words

, 

summarize the main ideas 

in the credo

so that the new employees understand the company’s 

goals, mission and values. Use a few short paragraphs (4-6 sentences each). Be sure to include 

an appropriate intro and conclusion.

Hints

: 

?

Your intro should welcome new hires to the company & briefly reflect the importance of

and the spirit the company (and new hires) should embrace.

?

You want the Chief Human Resources Coordinator to receive a copy of your email.

?

You want the CEO to receive a copy of your email as well, but you don’t want anyone 

else to know you are copying him.

?

Your subject line should be appropriate and capture attention.

?

Your conclusion should give an appropriate takeaway for the new hires.

?

Use a 12pt font

?

Carefully review III.E. (pg. 3) of the Overview Document in Blazeview regarding “Proper 

Form for an Email.” It has key information to help you.

?

Use the sample email format document posted in the Writing Assignment folder in 

Blazeview. Pay close attention to details and these hints.
