How does your message impact your receiver? Or, in other words, what’s in it for them?
This message helps my boss to understanding the situation before the morning so that they are not rushing or interrupted in the morning. Furthermore, they might be able to find someone to help with what was once my task.
What does your receiver need to know?
The receiver (my boss) needs to formally know that I am ill and I will not be able to make it to the meeting. They also need to know what I have already done and when I will be able to get back to work again.
What are 3–5 adjectives that you would want your receiver to use to describe you?
Driven, organized, extroverted, and reliable.
What kind of relationship do you have or want to have with your receiver?
I would want to have a positive and open relationship with them while still remaining professional. I would want them to understanding that this internship is something that I really value, however we are human and things happen.
What outcome do you want to achieve?
I would want to quickly and efficiently inform my boss that I would not be able to make it to work that morning/ with an apology. I would do it as quickly as possible Sunday evening so that my boss hopefully view's it and has the proper time to take specific measures to rearrange anything. Furthermore, I would explain to them what I have already done to get ready and what still needs to be completed.
