Business Correspondence

Read these instructions carefully. There is no peer review for this project. Your final Project $2$ is due at the end of this unit.

Overview

In working with clients or colleagues, it$$s imperative to strike the right balance in tone, arrangement and content. In some ways, short correspondence and communication $($letters and emails$)$ is the most important on$-$the$-$job writing you will do$.$ The correspondence portfolio is your opportunity to demonstrate effective business writing through examples of everyday business communication.

For this project you will demonstrate your ability to apply a variety of writing strategies to specific situations by writing three messages $($two internal messages and one e$-$mail to an external contact$)$ in response to the situations provided below. You will also include a cover memo written to your instructor that outlines the challenges you faced and strategies you used in completing the messages.

Because these documents address such specific situations, student examples are not provided. However, BCE Chapters $7,8$ and $9$ will provide useful models for format and tone.
