Tutorials on the basics of writing letters
Businesses seeking indepth coverage and plenty of examples will appreciate the weightier AMA Handbook Of Business Letters by Jeffrey Seglin and Edward Coleman. Unlike its easier competitor, this provides a series of guidelines and tutorials on the basics of writing letters and includes over 350 models for memos, faxes, emails, and business letters. The accompanying CD allows for choosing a model and quickly producing a finished result.

Disappointed with outdated disk
I was excited to get my book in the mail, however, when I opened the disk that came with the book it was for Wordperfect 5.1 & MS Word 2.0. I have contacted the publisher in regards if there is a newer disk because I like many others use WordPerfect 9 and Microsoft Word. I received instructions that I can not get to work in DOS or Windows. One of the reasons I purchased the book was to get the disk and sample letters! What a disappointment! I have a disk I cannot use at this point. Buyer's Beware!

great resource
Great book, plus software templates for all routine business correspondence. Highly recommend.
