Business
writing is nonfiction writing about a business related subject, addressed
to a particular audience to achieve a particular purpose. It
is writing that relies on facts. The audience to be addressed to could
be one person, several people, or even thousands. It all depends on
what particular purpose the document intends to achieve. A
letter from a bank about the financial standing of a certain company
is, for instance, a confidential report to the inquirer usually, a
company intending to start business with the company under investigation.
A corporate annual report, on the contrary, communicates to the public
what happened in the corporation that year. It is meant to suggest
the good management of the corporation so as to inspire confidence
among the stockholders.
Generally speaking, business writing
includes litters, reports, contracts, forms, in ¨Chouse correspondence
and employment correspondence, and so forth. In whatever form you
write, you will have to consider how to write effectively. A persuasive
letter of sales promotion will certainly help to increase business
opportunity with other people while an ambiguous letter of acceptance
is but a waste of time.
