This is a competent writing primer that's worth retaining as a reference within one's library. Basic, as well as advanced circumstances are discussed with clear language, sample exhibits and directives regarding business and cultural sensitivity. It's a one-stop tool for any writing level.

An extremely helpful book for business communications. I think I may keep it for future use. Very clear and understandable.
