1 page memo to business partners for help in next 12 hrs - open to bidding

You are a partner at the consulting firm Cruz, Kennedy and Jaffari (This consulting firm is in whatever field you wish to work in). Your company has been doing extremely well and you and your partners have designed a new program that will add billions of dollars in profits to your firm annually. However, you need 15 million dollars to fully develop the new project. In the last three months, you and your partners have come up with a capital campaign to raise 15 million dollars for the project. Mr. Jaffari was responsible for contacting investors, Ms. Cruz was responsible for branding and marketing the new program and you are responsible for applying for all possible government or private foundation grants that apply to your project. You were at work on a Saturday afternoon double checking a grant application that could bring in anywhere from five to nine million dollars to the project when you realized that you had somehow overlooked some of the information required by the grantor. The grant application is due Monday at 5 p.m. It could take a week to gather the information you overlooked. You have an assistant but you will need the help of the partners, their assistants and other department managers to make the deadline in 48 hours. There is no way that the other two partners would agree to not submit this grant application so you have to start working on gathering and preparing the required information now. You however need help to complete this assignment. You need to quickly set up a team of 6 people to help you complete this assignment by Monday’s deadline. There will be no golf today. You are even more stressed about this blunder because last quarter one of your mistakes cost the firm over half a million dollars and the other partners threatened to dissolve the partnership if you make mistakes of this magnitude again. It is Saturday afternoon and you were about to play golf with your partners in your quest to rebuild a strong relationship with them. Your head and heart is pounding as you face the screen of your computer with sweaty hands. You begin writing a memo to your partners. YOUR TASK Write a memo to Jaffari and Cruz explaining what happened with the grant application. Ask Jaffari and Cruz to help you with your plan to complete the project by Monday afternoon as outlined above.
