Document Summary

When you revise, you modify your writing to make it stronger and more convincing. When you edit, you proofread your final draft for errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and mechanics. Step one: revise for unity: ensure that all parts of your work relate to the main idea. Step two: revise for adequate support: determine that your details effectively support the main idea. Step three: revise for coherence: verify that your ideas flow smoothly and logically. Step four: revise for style: ensure that your sentences are varied and interesting. Step five: edit for technical errors: proofread your work, and correct errors in grammar, spelling, mechanics and punctuation. To check for unity, ensure that every sentence in the body of the paragraph relates to one main idea. Avoid circular reasoning by providing a clear, concise topic sentence and by supporting the topic sentence with facts, examples, statistics and anecdotes. Use transitional phrases to ensure that ideas are connected smoothly.

Mr. Jeremy Roper, General Manager

Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa

440 Cannery Row

Monterey, CA 93940

Dear Mr. Roper:

Iâm writing this letter to let you know that the wait staff at the Monterey Plazas popular Schooner Bistro restaurant would like to bring to your attention a serious problem. Even when us servers have gave good service some customerâs leave no tip. Many of us have gotten together and decided to bring the problem and a possible solution to your attention per this letter.

Restaurants such as the famous French Laundry which is ranked as the countries finest restaurant, now add a 20 percent tip to the bill. All service charges go to the house and every one is paid a salary from that. Other restaurants are also printing gratuity guidelines on checks. In fact American Express now provides a calculation feature on it's terminals so that restaurants can chose the tip levels they want printed. In Europe a service charge of up to 20 percent is auto calculated, and added to a check.

Us servers are of the opinion that a suggested tip printed on checks would work good here at Schooner Bistro. We know that we give good service but some customers forget to tip. By printing a suggested tip on the check we remind them so that they wonât forget. A printed suggested tip also does the math for them which is a advantage for customer's who are not to good with figures. In addition many of our customers are tourists from Europe. Who donât understand our tipping system.

Printing suggested tips on checks not only helps customers but also proves to the staff that you support them in there goal to recieve decent wages for the hard work they do. A few customers might resist, however these customers can always cross out the printed tip if they wish. If you have any doubts about the plan we could try it for a 6-month period, and monitor customers reactions.

We erge you to begin printing a suggested 20 percent tip on each customers bill. Our American express terminals are all ready equipt to do this. Please let us know your feelings about this proposal because its a serious concern to us.

Sincerely,

Joshua Rubin

Server, Schooner Bistro
