Criterion Scores
| Criterion | Score | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
Understanding of Email Communication | 2/4 | The response has the shape of an email but only partially fits the all-staff workplace communication task. Evidence: It includes a subject line and greeting, but the purpose and audience handling are underdeveloped. Improvement tip: State the reason for the email more clearly in the opening sentence. |
Appropriate Response to the Situation | 1/4 | The message recognizes there is a problem, but it does not guide employees through the situation well enough. Evidence: It tells staff to be careful but does not explain the phishing threat or provide appropriate reporting instructions. Improvement tip: Name the phishing risk directly and explain what staff should do if they receive one of the emails. |
Advice on Phishing | 1/4 | The advice is too vague to help staff recognize and avoid phishing attempts. Evidence: It does not tell employees to avoid suspicious links, attachments, or requests for account information. Improvement tip: Add specific do-not actions and a reporting channel. |
Presentation and Writing Style | 2/4 | The response is readable but informal and underdeveloped for an all-staff workplace email. Evidence: The tone is simple and clear, but the sign-off and message structure are minimal. Improvement tip: Use a more professional tone and add clearer structure to the body of the email. |

Overall Feedback
This draft acknowledges the issue, but it does not yet provide enough practical guidance for an all-staff phishing warning. The biggest gap is specificity: employees need clear instructions about what to avoid and how to report suspicious emails.

Subject: Important: Please Be Alert for Suspicious Emails Dear Team, We have been informed that phishing emails are being sent to employees from accounts that may appear to be internal. Some of these messages may ask you to click a link, open an attachment, or urgently verify account details. Please do not click suspicious links, open unexpected attachments, or share passwords or personal information by email. If a message seems unusual, do not reply directly. Instead, report it to the IT Help Desk and verify any urgent request through a trusted channel. Thank you for your attention and cooperation. Best regards, Communications Lead
