Which sentence conveys the author’s purpose in this persuasive message? Dear Kevin,
After our last meeting, I thought of a plan to save our company some money. I believe telecommuting could help reduce our expenses and increase productivity.
Due to the current renovation of the office, the lack of sufficient office space makes it difficult to finish work on schedule. If employees are allowed to telecommute, I estimate that the company will receive a 60 percent cost-benefit increase. Please consider implementing this plan for our team until the renovation is complete.
I appreciate your consideration of my plan and will be happy to meet to discuss the details.
Best regards,
Daphne
