Sending out a sloppy or unclear letter can damage your company's business and even your personal reputation. When you write a letter or a memo remember to focus on your reader. Just like in the letter of application, you have to focus on what you can do for them, not what they can do for you. Be sure to look at the examples in the textbook and even check out your mail closely for a few days. You'll find that you receive sales letters all the time encouraging you to take advantage of some great deal.
Correspondence is a key element of any business, large or small.
In class today, take time to write a brief description of you and your company. I will post these descriptions on the web so that other people in the class will be able to read about your company and decide whether or not to write to you. I will post your descriptions just exactly as you write them so take some time to make them clear. You can write them out and give them to me hardcopy, or you can email them to me, which will save me the time of having to retype them. Your description should be one paragraph and should include your name and position and a brief description of your company.
