Emails are a quick, effective and often spontaneous form of communication, however they are still bound by the rules of writing within a business environment. Learn to convey a message in a style that is interesting yet clear, concise and to the point.

While emails are a quick and often spontaneous form of communication, they are still bound by all the rules of writing within a business environment. Anything written in an email is as important - and as legally significant - as any other form of writing.

Critically, we show how to express thoughts in plain English. Accuracy, clarity and the use of simple, clear statements of fact are vital in any exchange of information, and especially when you are writing.

Participants will consider how to judge what is relevant to be communicated, and what is not.

Participants are asked to bring samples of their own emails to class for discussion and editing
