Plain English - Writing to Express
Plain English enables you to get your meaning across clearly and concisely to your audience with the necessary impact and the most suitable 'tone of voice'. Whether you are writing conventional letters, reports or proposals, or using electronic media, the principles are the same. Helping your reader to grasp your message faster, saves time & resources.

Your effectiveness depends, quite simply, on good communication. With the widespread use of e-mail as an increasingly important mode of communication, the key is how to use this technology to best effect, balancing brevity with useful content.
