Summary In this chapter, you learned to edit what you write. You learned how to use two "friends" to help you identify and correct errors in your business documents. These two "friends" are your dictionary and your colleague. You also learned how to use two "tools" to help you improve your English (and reduce the amount of editing you need to do). These two "tools" are a grammar reference book and a "Personal Errors Log". In addition, you identified specific English grammar points you need to improve. You identified these areas after you completed the "Personal Writing Analysis". Editing what you write is very important. After you edit your document, it should be correct. If it is, it will make a good impression on your reader. In addition, you'll get the results you're looking for. Summary Exercise LETTER TO MR PERRY In Chapter 3, you drafted a letter to Mr Perry. You also revised it. In Chapters 4-6, you continued to revise the letter. In this exercise, you're going to edit the letter To do this exercise, you'll need the letter which you revised in Chapter 6. Check the letter very carefully. Focus on those grammar points which cause problems for you. Use a dictionary - and a friend or colleague - to help. After you have identified and corrected all the errors, write the final version on a piece of paper. When you finish, you can compare your final version with the sample letter on the next screen. Below is a sample of the letter to Mr Perry.
Mr Robert Perry Flat 3 A Bayshore Tower Mary's Point Vancouver Dear Mr Perry Premier1 Account 613 556556 888 We have received the cheque (no 60263) which you deposited through our "Quick Deposit' service on 9 August 200X. However, we have been unable to credit the money to your Premier account. Please let me explain what has happened. The name on a cheque needs to match the name of the account. Unfortunately, the name on the cheque was R Pery instead of R Perry. As a result, I have enclosed the cheque so that you can return it to the person who issued it. Please ask that person to issue another one. As soon as we receive the cheque with the correct name, we can deposit it in your account. I hope this information is helpful. Yours sincerely
