The style and manner of writing business letters says a lot about the individual and their organisation. This training activity allows participants to identify best practice in business letter writing and to receive feedback on the effectiveness of their letter writing skills.

You introduce the training session and ask participants to look at the letters they have brought with them and the impressions the letters give. After looking at the structure of a letter and then letter writing to a colleague or a customer, you introduce the concept of 'plain English'. Participants undertake a series of exercises to improve the clarity of their letter writing skills. Finally, participants write a further letter and receive feedback on their business letter writing skills.

Who is it for: This training activity is intended for use by trainers to increase participants' letter writing skills giving them the ability to write effective letters.
