Business English Writing Skills





Why and What:


Is it “Ms. Lady,” or “Dear Madam,”; Is it “ I would appreciate it if …” or “I would appreciate

if...” ; Is it “ We cannot do anything about your problem”; or “Unfortunately we are unable to help

you on this occasion.”; is it “ I should be glad if you would, or “ Please”; Is it “The program gains

efficiency by eliminating the superfluous instructions” or “The program gains efficiency when you

eliminate the superfluous instructions?”


Every day, you may not be confident enough in writing perfect English documents and

sometimes make big or small mistakes. For examples: what you write may not be well

“mind-mapped” in that your “readers” can not accurately understand what you want to tell

them; what you write contains abundant words and phrases which make your documents

“clumsy” with unwanted “fat”; what you write is not in a professional or proper style with a clear

tone in that you have warned your” readers” that you are not professionally tuned.



Your English is already good enough, but you want to be in your element with skills to write

professional, effective, and impressive business English. Reaching such a level, you will be able to

communicate more effectively and your image reflected to your boss, colleagues and clients or

even to the public will be significantly improved. This is where this course will exactly take you to.
