Thank you so much
@Jacob Miller for this! I have an AC coming up and this is super useful! I was wondering how you would recommend structuring a business report where you have to outline risks and opportunities? Would I still say things like 'To X' and 'Kind regards' or is that more for a letter? Any input would be great
Sorry I didn't see this come in earlier!
I would substantively agree with Dheepa's advice here. A business report isn't necessarily a letter addressed to a person so letter formatting would be superfluous.
If you were being asked to write something like a memo, letter of advice or letter of opinion to a client, however, proper letter formatting is generally advisable at that point.
In this particular context, there are a few ways you could go about laying it out. I would probably structure it as:
- title
- executive summary (in order of descending importance)
- risks (substantive points in order of descending importance)
- opportunities (substantive points in order of descending importance)
Hope this helps!
