Other guidelines are specific to the type of document. In this section, I provide some general ideas on composing business documents, as well as some brief, more specific tips on writing emails, memos, reports, and international correspondence.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=141743602070344111" name="382"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=141743602070344111" name="wbp05chP4"></a><b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Some General Guidelines <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <a href="http://getassignment.blogspot.com/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS0rQoHJsfKz7IC8qswMqBy_TGx2kqg1-XTTlSh0FGtPqunFLtT6xxuysqEBTLeW81vTEa0lfttQG7tQm3ZIXDH3pl5l7s1CwoxtBWCBUrRKFrO0bQFIFX-xj6XZ2ElWs9mQU8dySBHp4/s1600/4223121+(1).png" width="400"></a><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Know why you’re writing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Before you write anything longer than two or three paragraphs, write down the answer to this question: <i>Why am I writing?</i> (For example,<i> To secure funds for the system enhancement, To propose a new approach to employee communications)</i> Keep this answer in front of you as you write; it’s your objective. Include nothing in your document that doesn’t relate to or support your objective.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Organize your document. <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The most basic, and usually the most effective, way to organize any business document is to present the information in descending order of importance.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">An exception to this rule occurs when your reader might be reluctant to accept your point of view. In that case, consider presenting information in the opposite order, from least to most important, gradually bolstering your case and ending with your strongest point. The danger with this approach, of course, is that the reader might lose interest and stop reading.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">More complex documents sometimes require additional organizing principles.
