Description

Business letters, memos, e-mails, proposals...not everyone's a writer, yet every businessperson is expected to write -- a scary prospect for professionals without formal writing training!

Fear no more -- you're only one week away from clearer, more confident writing. This unique course includes one work-week (five days) of daily lessons, designed explicitly for business professionals. Students learn about grammar, clarity, precision, organization and style, then apply their knowledge to write better business letters, e-mails, memos and more.

Practical lessons, examples and activities draw from real-world business situations that professionals face every day, helping all students gain confidence and accuracy in their written communications.
