To: Dr. know-it-all From: student x CC: a, b.c Date: 05/01/012 Re: Business writing course Dr. Know-it-all: I have recently chanced across a business writing course that will be held at Loyola university once a week between the hours of 1.30 to 5.30. It costs $1000 per session. Although I am just an internist in your company, I believe that you have sufficient trust in me to employ me some day and, therefore, I am requesting that you pay so that I complete the course. Research that I have done and people whom I have spoken to have consistently shown me the importance of business writing. It not only wins your company credibility and an aura of professionalism but may lead to enhanced reputation, more stakeholders, greater respect, and further opportunity for the company.

Even the communication that does not deal with significant matter or is not addressed to significant personnel too needs to be written effectively in order to best and succinctly communicate our point and achieve that which we need to. Business writing instruction doesn't only influence writing skills. It will help me to formulate my thoughts more analytically, succinctly, and clearly as well as, simultaneously, enhancing my oral communication

As a Human Resources Technician, communicating through writing and speaking are equally as important. Aside from the obvious situations that require memorandum, standard operating procedure, or other written communication, there are many situations when writing is more appropriate than speaking. Writing is the better option in situations requiring documented proof of communication, when you want to give a reference for later on, or when you want to organize your thoughts in a specific manner. With that said, when you put something in writing, it is documented proof of what you said; therefore, it should always be professional. You always want to write in a setting with minimal distractors where you are able to focus and give your undivided attention to conveying the intended

There is a number of ways written communication can be displayed, (Notes Desk March 8th, 2009) this website states “a written communication message can be transmitted via email, letter, report, memo etc.” This shows that written communication has a wider range of non-verbal communication with a different set of rules.
