- they make difficult tasks easier to understand. It may seem that writing instructions would be easy, especially when writing about a task you are already familiar with. In actuality, writing instructions can be a very difficult and overwhelming task once you get started. Extreme preparation and maintaining your focus is of utmost importance in writing instructions. and pay attention to detail, including everything, even menial steps. . It's always better to have too many steps, than not enough. Your ability to put yourself in the place of the reader, the person trying to use your instructions
- Business genres are different categories of business-related communications. There are three main types of business genres; each has its own function and each is frequently used in the workplace. Email - Email is often the quickest and easiest form of communication on the workplace. Individuals use it for everyday conversation and for correspondence for various corporate matters. Since email doesn't usually have any inherent or special formatting, and some email messages are made spontaneously, they aren't considered to be a very formal means of communication. Letters - In the workplace, letters serve chiefly as a formal, persuasive document, like employment recommendations, inquiries for information, and claims asking for adjustments or compensation. Letters stick with a certain format, and can vary slightly. Memos - Informed decisions of any kind may rely on memos. Many different kinds of memos exist, and in the workplace they serve to inform and/or to persuade decision makers like a boss or even top management to make those decisions.
- People read business letters quickly. Therefore, get to the point in the first paragraph--the first sentence, if possible. Single space your letters and use a serif typeface. Skip a line between paragraphs. Because people read business letters quickly, use shorter sentences and paragraphs than you would in a longer document. Sentences should average fewer than twenty words, and paragraphs should average fewer than seven lines.
- As amar has explained the format of Memorandum is same as email
- Correctly incorporated visuals can make a point or idea clearer and understandable which in turn make the author's message more effective. For example using a line graph to represent the percentage of unemployed in a country will totally confuse the reader and will obscure the point. On contrary using a pie chart to represent the same data will be much better because with just a glance the reader will be able to get the message.
- Choosing the right visual to support an idea is very important because instead of enhancing understanding they can make it more complex.
