Whenever we write a letter, email or memo, we should always
need to remember the 5c’s of business writing. This sounds cliché to us but it is
the most important thing to remember.

First is being
coherent
in your work. The paragraphs should be orderly oriented.
Everything in your letter should be in order,
you’ve got the introduction, the body and the closing remarks with a goodwill
close.

Second is that your message is
clear. You want your reader to easily understand your message.
Avoid using a lot of idioms and cliché, the simpler the better.

Third is being
concise
of your thoughts. Say what’s need to be said in the fewest possible words in
your letter. Get straight to the point of your message to avoid confusion for
the reader.

Being
courteous in
your message is the best approach for the reader to arouse their interest. Your
tone must maintain positivity no matter what.
Always adopt a “you” attitude which means that
one sees the other person’s point of view. Treat the reader as you want to be
treated with respect. Do not accuse or threatened the reader as this will be
offensive to them. Give credits to people who deserve it.

Lastly, make sure your letter is correct. All the topics and the thoughts you want are stated.
Always double check the spelling and grammar. Always remember the format if it’s
a letter, email or memo.
These are guides in which you can improve and have a better
communication in writing your message. If you have any comments, feel free to
post it. Thank You Very Much!
