Many graduates have a problem in constructing a proper English sentence. This was realized by a businesses tycoon Chris Kirubi when a university graduate asked him for an appointment.
Kirubi said on his twitter handle that the graduate was extremely unprofessional in his request hence missed it. This is what the graduate wrote to Kirubi.
"dear chris, how r u? am looking for an appointment to meet u coz i hv a great biz idea.nimegraduate but sina job. plz gimme 5min of ua tym. am lukin 4wrd to ua response. Thx,” read the request from the graduate.
In his twitter, he advises the young generation on how to become professional when it comes to communication.
"My young friends, if you want to be taken seriously, you must change the way you communicate,” he said.
There were different responses from people on social media. Some agreed with Kirubi but others strongly disagreed with him. Here are some of the responses.
The trouble we have with this young ones. How do you communicate like that. Asking for an appointment is not same as asking your guys out for a drink. Smh- Marto (@martoleo) July 17, 2018
Kindly help the young man implement his business idea ???? don’t mind about the writings Mr Chris. formal or not ,the message is still okay.— Hon Gideon Keter (@GideonKeter)
Was it via text to your phone? Twitter handle, messenger or email? Only email can be written the same way as a an official or formal letter. The rest can be written very briefly— Olchore (@Olchore1)
