A request is a routine if it does two
things:
1. It does a task that is an essential
part of the normal course of
business.
2. You anticipate the reader or
audience to comply.

Exe rcis e:
You need to do a library research work
related to “Demands of Business
Communication” as part of your preparation
for an oral presentation. You write to the
Chief Librarian to ask for the list of titles of
updated Business Communication books
recently published. You may also include an
additional request for the librarian to keep the
books and that any moment during the week
you’ll visit the library and browse on the
references. Use a whole sheet of yellow
paper.
