Week 9, Keyboarding

We are on the downhill side of our Keyboarding class.  This is week 9 of our 16 weeks together.  Since our class is so large and covers the entire State of MS, I need information from each of you regarding your school calendar.  


Please complete the Google Document form "Profile Update" which is located below.  Press submit located at the bottom of the form so  your information will be sent to me.  All information is private and will be used to finalize the last days of our class.  You will be given 20 points for completing the form no later than Monday March 8, 2010.  After that date, the value decreases to 10 points.

Business Letters
Follow this link for more help on writing effective business letters. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/653/01/  Please bookmark the site (or add to your favorites) so you can refer to it as you compose your own letters. 


Remember to review your work BEFORE you press the submit button.  This includes checking punctuation, spacing, grammar, and spelling.  Errors are extremely embarrassing to the sender and cost businesses money to correct them.  (Plus your grade will not be very good if you have errors!)


You will be tested on the basic parts of a business letter as well as the spacing between each part.  Here is a summary for your notes.  Be prepared for a "pop" quiz on business letters in the coming week.
