Great job Cathy! Before I was a librarian, I was a business teacher, and one of the hardest things to teach was how to write a good letter. Most of the time the students' letters turned out to be one or two lines of "get to the point" text with no buffers whatsoever. I like this method of teaching how to write a letter, and if I would ever have to teach how to write letters again, I would like to use this in the classroom.

I think this shows that you value writing in any discipline. Most times, people don't think about business writing as being valuable writing or of it having any feeling or thought being put into it. I'm glad that you dispelled that myth today.

I loved the activity of building on someone else's writing. That could be adapted into most any other discipline. I loved it.
