Add You - Why Would 8,000 People Read an Article about Letter Formatting?
Authors, self publishers and book publishers often spend a lot of time thinking over possible titles for an upcoming book they plan to publish and rightly so. There are some basic considerations to keep in mind when choosing a title, assuming you're publishing a non-fiction book.The most important thing to remember is to choose a title that describes exactly what the boo
Recently, for example, my daughter sent me a letter she had received from Centrelink, the largest Australian Government agency and asked me if I knew what it was about. She's pretty smart and I'm well versed in the written word, but we decided after reading it several times that it was incomprehensible. I suggested she contact Centrelink and ask someone to translate.

You don’t have to be a tech geek to know that Web 2.0 has completely changed the way things work online. If you wise up to these trends, you can easily use them to your advantage. Now, before you start to think that you're going to have to spend all day "friending" people on MySpace and other social networking sites, hold on a minute! This can be done in a time-efficient man
I've been wondering why an item about something as common place as letters could create so much interest. And I think I've found the reasons.
Before I go into those reasons, however, I'd like to tell you the short story about a young lady who graduated from one of Australia's finest universities with a Bachelor of Communication degree. She contacted me one day and asked if I could teach her how to write a business letter. She'd been applying for jobs, but had no idea about writing a cover letter or any other type of business letter. I was astonished. I asked myself, "How could someone do three or four years at university, especially in a communication discipline and not know how to write letters?"
I think I already knew the answer. You see, I'd been a teacher in the Technical and Further Education (TAFE) (post-secondary) sector in Australia for 10 years and one of my key teaching areas was business communication. In TAFE we taught students the fundamentals of business communication including writing letters, memoranda, minutes of meetings and so on. These were topics not then covered in Australian universities.
So, I believe that my article about letter formatting is popular because, while everyone is required to write letters, most people have never been taught how to format and write a letter properly.
All you need do is read some of the system-generated letters distributed by banks, insurance and large government agencies to realise that there are still people who have no idea about letter writing. And unfortunately they are being let loose to write letters that portray an image of the organization for which they work.
