"At the end of the day, if we think outside the box, our communications strategies will exemplify state-of-the-art clarity, to consistently yet flexibly move our constituents toward underwriting our efforts."

Dear writer,
whoever you are, call me. Because I know I can help you. Don't write another internal memo, a sales and marketing document, business letter, submission or proposal. Please, don't write to your customers. And if you should involuntarily "transition from your current career path due to an unpredictable downturn in the global market", heaven forbid, don't write your own resumé.

Am I being horribly unfair? I'm sorry...

you see, at the end of the day, and thinking outside of the box, your communication strategies don't exemplify state-of-the-art clarity. Thus, they will not consistently yet flexibly move your constituents (which in this case, presumably, are your employees) toward anything.

People want clear, concise, persuasive messages.

So please, call me: 61 08 9574 1768, or better still, have me call you

...it's for your own good :); Chris

I'm pleased you've decided to run with the latest narrative I wrote for you - I hope it goes well. And of course I'm also delighted to provide more of similar! I will forward a first draft of the second in the series shortly so that the marketing team can look it over well before the July deadline. Chris

Let's face it. We all need help sometimes...

"Hi David, hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to introduce you to somebody in the hope you might be able to use her services and recommend her to others in your network. Chris Lees runs her business from Bakers Hill, just up the road from you in Perth. I first engaged Chris (in the last Century!) to perform research activities for me - such as finding every media article available on a particularly unique prospect I was trying to win, or, general information on the operations of a business I had been given short notice to pitch to. Since we first started using Chris she has also moved into copywriting and I have to say she is BRILLIANT at this too! Everything from brochures, to proposals, to email newsletters - she has an ability to interpret what we're trying to say and deliver it with acuity.
From my point of view she charges way to LITTLE for her services - but she's one of those quirky 'technicians' who loves her work and isn't chasing the grand empire.
Chris has just been told by a long-term client that they are shutting up shop (as a result of The GFC). I'd hate for the ripple effect of that to cause her to pull up stumps too - so, can I ask you to visit her website, consider engaging her and passing on her details to your contacts around the place, please?"
