Rhetoric Appeals

In the introduction, the writer trys to seem credible by saying that he is the Senior Staff in the File Department at the African Development Bank. This is an example of ethos because he is trying to show that he is an important and credible person. He also tries to appeal to the reader by saying that the operation is confidential. We think that this makes the reader feel important and more willing to cooperate. The writer mentions that this transaction would have no risk since he is an insider which makes the reader feel safe about going through with this. These are both examples of a pathos appeal.
