Creating
Business
Documents |
Every
business
uses written documents to accomplish work. The first rule of
success is to follow
the organization's rules. Ask
for a sample of the email signature, preferred letter format,
or report template before you make a fool of yourself!
Of
course, this means you must
- include the
expected content in the document and
- follow
the format
or template accurately. You'll also be expected
to
- use
"standard" English, which means correct grammar, spelling,
syntax and punctuation.
Resources
on this page provide the typical
content, format, and language expectations for the most common
business documents:
