N2  - Guidelines and examples of "dos" and don'ts" are given to new managers and other professionals for writing brief and effective memos, letters, proposals, and reports. Emphasis is placed on the use of simple, direct language. Topics include: the secret and mechanics of effective memo writing; avoidance of insincere language and wasted words; how business langauge can frustrate effective memo writing; grammar pitfalls, and the importance of accurate punctuation and spelling; and the pros and cons of metaphors and prepositions. The overall method is based on: relating to the reader's mentality, thoughtful editing of the first draft, and controlling the tone of the language. Techniques for improving writing style are discussed. Sample topics include writing a well-spoken letter, applying for a job or a raise, writing a complaint letter, and writing a technical memo or readable technical report. (wz)
