Course Description

LETTER WRITING – MAKING EVERY WORD COUNT 

We’re all bombarded with letters and emails – and research shows that if you don’t catch a reader’s attention in the first 10 seconds you may have lost it forever.

On this highly practical workshop-style course, you will understand how to reach your target audience and make sure your message hits home.

Learn to create letters and emails that are clear, sharp, concise and easy to read – and discover how to write any document with greater speed, confidence and effectiveness.

This course is designed in light of the current emphasis on Plain English in the financial, legal and corporate sectors and the Financial Services Regulator’s review of financial jargon.
