Key Points to Writing
- WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get.
- Ask for HELP, the only person looking out
for #1 is you.
- Use a spell checker. F7 works good in MS Word.
- Use Merriam-Webster Online
to improve your vocabulary.

The following Example has been taken out of IMT viewer so the formatting
might be off. I did not changed mission information,
only names to protect myself and the
people I have received the information from. If
you have anything you would like to
submit, please do so.
If
you have found this information useful, please let me know. Everyone of these
letters has taken considerable amount of time to put together. Please
treat yourself to something special from one of the ads on the page. We
will both get something out of it. (All money gathered pays for
hosting fees and domain fees. HONESTLY, when I see money come in it also
prompts me to work harder on the site.)

Very Good Package!
There was one spelling error. The
were a lot of numbering issues. Numbers under 10 spelled out unless they deal with
time or follow numbers larger than 10 in the same bullet. The supervisor did a
very good job capturing the individuals accomplishments! |
