- Utilize correct spelling and grammar. Correct spelling and grammar help recipients view you as a professional and credible source within the company. Incorrect spelling and grammar can result in miscommunication and less effective.
- Apply clear and concise wording. Avoid unnecessary jargon. Jargon can have plenty of fancy words but have no meaning. Concentrate on the main points and purpose of your writing.
