Answer: Sean is not an effective speaker because he is disrespectful of others.
Although passion and decisiveness are important when fighting for a cause you care about, being disrespectful is not a good quality. When someone uses forceful language or interrupts, he is not letting others listen to counterclaims. This is a big problem as it limits the exchange of ideas. Moreover, someone who is disrespectful can be intimidating, which reduces everybody's participation in the debate.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this email to thank you for awarding me the first place within your competition. I am humbly grateful to have been given such an opportunity. Let me express my sincerest gratitude for choosing my suggestion as the winner. It is such an extraterrestrial feeling to come to visit the chocolate factory in Switzerland. This is so, as chocolate is my favourite snack and I have never been outside of my country of residence. I have been longing to visit Switzerland, thank you for making my dream come through. I look forward to visiting your factory soon. Additionally, I am seeking clarification and confirmation on two conditions within the prize which was granted.
Firstly, I would like to be given clarification on the date of my departure, what travel arrangements were made for me and the accommodations of my tenor in Switzerland. Finally, it was made mention that I have the opportunity to bring a friend along with me. Could you please confirm if both travelling and accommodations would be free of charge for my friend also. I look forward to receiving a favourable response in a timely manner. Thank you in advance.
Yours respectfully.
