This SLO-based activity encourages students to use correct formal language, modal verbs (kindly dispatch, should be arranged), and passive voice to emphasize civility and urgency. The letter highlights a critical real-life situation and fosters empathy, clarity, and structural correctness—essential grammar skills.
