Explanation:
Conveying a negative message is something that should be done with care and involves two approaches, namely the direct and indirect approaches. The indirect strategy is used when the audience is not well known and might not take the message well. A buffer statement and some explanation are then used to cushion the effect of the message. A direct message is used when the message is not to be misunderstood and is thus concise. For example, terminating an appointment should use the direct approach as the audience is familiar and the message must be understood.
