You Were Hired a Few Weeks Ago and Already Are

Multiple Choice

You were hired a few weeks ago and already are involved with an important project for your company. You write an e-mail message to a finance officer in a commercial bank concerning funding for the project. However, you haven't heard back from him, even though it's been two days. You haven't received an undeliverable message, either. Which of the MOST following is the likely reason he has not responded?

A) You typed in the wrong address.
B) You used "Money?" as the subject line.
C) The employee is on vacation and chose not to create an automatic message to that effect.
D) The employee read your e-mail and is simply reluctant to inform you that the project has been turned down for funding.
E) A letter was a more appropriate way of communicating with the bank than an e-mail message, and so your message is being ignored.
