9 Overview Week 2
Now that you understand the basics of word processing, this week you will apply those techniques and some new ones that will be introduced to produce a formal business letter and a memorandum. Knowing how to create letters and memorandums is important. Eventually, you will need to write a letter of application and create other documents to get that ideal job. Although you may be used to texting on your cell phone with family and friends, you may find a job that requires you to send memorandums or informal, internal communications once you are hired. This week you will learn about both communications forms.
