This book will be a great introductory for people who just started their careers for the following reasons.

1. A lot of tips around email ettiquate and tips are included as well when the writer trying to instruct on English business writing.
2. There are not a whole lot of paragrahs of explains some of good the writing habits. Rather it gives a lot of examples for each tip the author tries to examplify. You have deeper impression by doing so

More importantly, the book is written in a concise way that you can finish it in 3 hours and feeling that I've got a deeper understanding of what makes for good english email busiess writing. Other than these the book has not dive deeper on some of the newer topics like when and how to convey humors in emails and the examples in the book are pretty old.

Khi đang google để tìm tài liệu, sách cho việc cải thiện khả năng viết email, cũng như kĩ năng viết bằng tiếng Anh, thì tôi đã tìm được cuốn sách này. Đây chính xác là những gì tôi cần lúc đó: một cuốn guideline với những tip cho việc thay đổi cách sử dụng từ ngữ, ngữ pháp và cấu trúc trong việc viết email. Nhờ đó mà văn phong khi viết email với khách hàng của tôi đã bớt "hung hăng" hơn, dễ đạt được cái tôi muốn hơn. Tôi còn viết hẳn một cái bài blog bằng tiếng Việt để giới thiệu cho bạn mình những tip trong đó (https://pirent420.wordpress.com/2015/...)

Nếu có thời gian, tôi vẫn sẽ đọc lại cuốn này một lần nữa, vì có một vài chương trong đó tôi vẫn chưa ứng dụng được khi ở vị trí của công việc lúc đó, và cũng để tổng kết, xem lại những gì tôi đã áp dụng được, từ đó có thể có hướng mới hơn.
