[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 12646, member: 2672"] It’s impossible to advise on this without knowing the detail of the exercise. There is not one answer to these exercises though, so I think you are asking the wrong questions here, When it comes to structure you just base this on the basic rules of writing. When you see the context of the scenario you are faced with, ask yourself the following questions: What might the client not know/understand? What is important to the client? Are they right in thinking this should be a priority? If the client only remembers three things, what do you need them to take away? How do I back up what I am saying? How can I ensure I am not ambiguous? What do I need to signpost to the client, particularly if I need them to action anything or need them to be aware of anything else that needs to be considered/actioned? What’s the purpose of the writing - to inform/persuade/direct? You are ultimately trying to prepare for an exercise that you cannot prepare for though. Try not to go in with too many fixed ideas on the particulars of how you would write this assessment. [/QUOTE]
