If you are involved in the production and distribution of your company's correspondence, you are probably aware of the implications of this aspect of business communication. Ineffective correspondence not only influences productivity in the working environment, but it can also project a negative image of your company to clients.

The Stellenbosch University Language Centre will be presenting a workshop on 25 June 2008 during which we will introduce strategies that ensure high quality correspondence documents.

The following topics will be discussed, amongst others:

• Correspondence as an integral part of effective business communication
• Effective writing strategies for correspondence
• Existing models of correspondence
• The differences between correspondence via paper and e-mail
• The influence of e-mail on the working environment
• The influence of correspondence on business relations

The workshop is aimed at employees in the public and private sector that have to correspond in their official capacity.

The cost of the workshop is R1 125, and the closing date is 13 June 2008. Although the workshop will be presented in English, the Language Centre follows a language-friendly approach and participants will be welcome to communicate in Afrikaans. Only 20 people can be accommodated in this workshop.
