2. What is the purpose of your report? Why are you writing this report? What do you hope to achieve with this report?

3. What is the best channel to send your report? What factors did you consider in making this decision?

4. Who is your primary audience? Do you have a secondary audience?

5. What is the appropriate tone for your report?

6. What techniques will you use to help you achieve a positive tone?

7. How are you going to ensure your report has a "you" view?

• • Conversational and professional
