Letters

Nowadays, letters rarely mean good news, but even the worst news is easier to take when it's easy to understand what's happened and what needs to be done to sort it out.

Creating letters that people easily understand means there's more chance they will act on them first time, saving the need for further letters and phone calls to achieve the same result.

But it didn’t take me long to decide I wasn’t interested: and the reason for that was that I was left so confused about what I would be getting for my money, and I’m sure I’m not the only person who won’t pay for something if they’re not sure what they’re going to get.
