Topics covered include writing request letters, memos, acknowledgements, and letters of confirmation, human relations, solicitation, public relations, administrative business, and business reports. Special features of the book are a chapter on employment communication and a series of sample business letters to which the student is to respond in practicing his facility in business communication.
