Description
Why is it that many of us when faced with writing a formal letter or a note of absence to our child's teacher become uncharacteristically nervous and self conscious? And how many times have we started to write a letter of condolence or thanks and spent ages thinking what to say, or worried about saying the right thing? This book offers practical help and guidance to all who lack confidence when faced with everyday writing tasks - whether it's having to reply to a formal wedding invitation, compiling a CV, or completing a job application form. As well as clear explanations of how to write and set out your documents there are sections on common errors and how to avoid them, punctuation, vocabulary, as well as a list of 300 commonly misspelt words. With this book by your side, you'll never be lost for words again.
