A professional appearance gives your writing credibility. You might have written the best memo or report of your career, but if it contains spelling errors, punctuation mistakes and a poor layout, it's just not going to be as effective as it otherwise might. After you're satisfied that the content of your document is top notch, run through the following checklist to ensure that its appearance is just as good. The first thing that people will notice about your writing is the way it looks. You'll know from your own life, that it's a lot easier to start out with a good impression than to have to try to recover from a poor one.
First impressions count, so make a good one.
