SUMMARY:Writing Effective Letters\, Scope Documents\, Reports and Proposals - Burnaby
DESCRIPTION:What are key elements of an effectively written document? What should I focus on in my letters\, bids\, proposals\, work plans\, reports\, and documentation? \nPotential clients often judge you based on whether you can clearly articulate the services you provide.

Crafting effective emails and letters \n4. Responding to bids and proposals \n5. Structuring your reports and project documentation \nInstructor: Eric Tung is Business Communications Instructor at SFU’s Beedie School of Business\, and an English Instructor at UBC’s Extended Learning\, where he teaches business and technical writing courses. \nIn addition to teaching\, as a Principal Consultant at Prolepsis Consulting\, Eric designs and delivers customized business\, proposal\, and technical writing workshops to various organizations\, including construction\, engineering\, and consulting firms.
