Complete the following Knowing Your Purpose for Writing Exercise from Chapter 2.1 in Dunphy, B., & Stracuzzi, A. (2019). Professional communications: A common approach to work-place writing. Fanshawe College.

Select a letter youve recently received in the mail (or one your roommate, friend, or family member has received) from a company or organization, ideally a promotional or campaign letter rather than one too specific to your or the recipients situation, and describe both its general and specific purposes. If its general purpose included informing (recall that a document can have more than one general purpose), identify the subtopics (5 Ws + H). What are some other purposes for business writing? What is the relationship between the desired outcome from the writing and the purpose of the writing?
