Advancement in telecommunications has drastically changed the way that people communicate, particularly in a professional capacity. The onslaught of e-mail, text and even instant messaging has given people other means with which to communicate with one another, but in doing, the art of personal, verbal and face-to-face communication is being lost, resulting in miscommunication and broken personal and professional relationships.

Make e-mail work for you, not against you. Improve your reputation as a caring communicator. Be someone who uses e-mail thoughtfully. The guidelines and techniques in this book will make that happen. E-mail is one of the greatest inventions of our lifetime - phenomenally affecting the way we communicate. Reading, writing and managing e-mail is taking up an increasing amount of our time. But are we using it right? E-mail can be used to stay in touch whether we are travelling or working from home. Perhaps we can relax standards when it comes to personal e-mails, but e-mailing for business purposes has reached a new dimension. People whose jobs never used to involve writing skills are now replying dozens of e-mails each day. But under such pressure to respond quickly, what happens to the quality of the messages exchanged? The bottom line remains- just as body language helps you to making an impression in person, what you write and how you write it affects what people think of you and your organisation. Be it a thank you note, a meeting reminder, a proposal or a sales pitch, a well-written message that looks and sounds professional will make it easier for people to want to do business with you. It will help people feel good about communicating with you and help you achieve the right results.

This is Volume 1 of a series on Writing, the nature, development and teaching of written communication and focuses on Variation in Writing: Functional and linguistic-Cultural Differences. The theme of these two volumes, broadly defined, might best be phrased as two questions: How can we learn more about writing? and How can we learn more about the interaction between teaching to write and learning to write? The papers in these two volumes were originally prepared in draft form for the National Institute of Education's first Conference on Writing in June, 1977.
