Business Communication

Being professional in every type of communication is really important in the business world. Before anyone sends an email, they should always use spell check and make sure there is no grammatical errors in the email. Everyone has some type of idea they get about someone when the meet them for the first time. If you send an email to a potential customer, and it looks like a student who is in kindergarten wrote it, then they are probably going to look at the email and laugh and they might not even consider doing business with you. Also, it is even worse if someone sends an error written formal email that is discussing some type of formal topic. This looks really bad on the person who wrote it, and it looks even worse on the company. I know we all have had emails were we have errors in them, but it is always important to check them for errors. I am someone who is guilty of making errors in emails and I am going to be a senior in college. I know that is really sad, but people with masters and PhD’s do the same thing. One of the things I want to get out of this class is cutting back on the grammatical errors in any type of written communication that I use. Here is the email revised:

We discussed requiring my computer operators to perform the very time-consuming task of comparing their entries against the time sheets from which your clerks are miscopying.

My employees don’t have the time to correct the errors made by your people, and I won’t hire additional help for such work.

I recommend that you tell your clerks to review their work carefully before giving it to the computer operators.
