Identify which writing characteristic of business messages is violated in the following description.

I see that there appears to be an absolutely unfamiliar potential client requesting to converse with you in the upcoming afternoon interval. Would you prefer that I reject his request because you are already experiencing an overload of professional work demands?

a. Purposeful

b. Persuasive

c. Economical

The correct answer is letter "C": Economical.

Explanation:

An economical message in business writing has a style that uses a few words to provide readable, accurate, objective and direct information to the audience. In the phrase:

"I see that there appears to be an absolutely unfamiliar potential client requesting to converse with you in the upcoming afternoon interval. Would you prefer that I reject his request because you are already experiencing an overload of professional work demands? "

There is redundancy and exuberance. The speaker or writer is adding needless words while transmitting the message. Thus, it does not meet the economical characteristic of business writing.
