The main differences between the direct organizational pattern for communications and the indirect pattern for communications are:

The direct pattern is used for bad news so that your reader doesn't become confused. The indirect pattern is used with good news, because it builds audience anticipation.

The direct pattern gives the audience the main point of information right away, whereas the indirect method delays the main message $($usually bad news$)$ and employs context, explanation, and$/$or a buffer before getting to the point.

The indirect organizational pattern is more polite than the direct organizational plan. Because of this, it should be used in all business writing for American audiences to avoid offending your audience.

The direct organizational pattern gets to the point right away. Because of this, it is always best to use for business correspondence.
