Module Overview

Negative messages are hard to write. How do you break bad news in such a way that it creates the least amount of ill will? Should you sugarcoat the message, or create a bad news sandwich (which begins with a slice of good news, moves on to the meat of the bad news, and ends with a slice something positive)? Or, do things like that just annoy people and make them feel patronized? And how do you write letters anyway? Critical and thought provoking questions like these will be tackled in this module, and definitive answers will be forthcoming.
