Hi People!

Happy to join this group. I'm a newbie and hope members will welcome me with an open arms. The reason of joining this is to to further enhance my English communication skills and to find friends who will kindly share their knowledge about business writing. For your information, I am a marketing person who usually communicates to clients in writing and of course, I don't want to be looked at as dumb because of my writing skills.

So to all of my new found friends, please help me improve my writing skills by giving me techniques, formats, advise, and websites which I can view to further improve my writing.

Again thank you so much and hoping to find new friends and to help others.
