Collaborative Project: Letters, E-mails, & Memos

When you write letters, e-mails, and memos a few tips to keep in mind would be to prepare your readers for the key information in your message by using a clearly worded subject line or opening sentence. The most important information should be in the opening paragraph so the reader is able to get the purpose of the message right away. The format of these documents should help readers recognize the organization and major points of the message. Always be concise when writing up these sort of documents. If someone has to read your message more than once to grasp the meaning, you are not doing your job.
