Question

Choose the best closing for a message requesting the receiver's support for a proposed change in a benefits plan.

a. We really need to implement this new benefits plan soon.

b. If you have any further questions about this new benefits plan, please do not hesitate to contact me.

c. Contacting me by December 1 about your support of this new benefits plan will allow me to present this proposal at the next strategic planning session.

d. Please e-mail me at your earliest convenience with your decision.

Answer 1

c. Contacting me by December 1 about your support of this new benefits plan will allow me to present this proposal at the next strategic planning session.

Step-by-step explanation:

The closing for a request should indicate a deadline for receiver, which can help to engage receiver in sender’s process.

Even though in this scenario, the sender is requesting for a support which might be not receiver’s responsibility to accept the benefit plan, but the sender can smartly appreciate the receiver if he can have the support by December 1.

I suppose with this closing in an email, receiver will put this mail in his working calendar or prioritized list if he really care and want to support this plan.
