JUST
THE RIGHT WORDS
Personal and Professional Letter-Writing Service
There
are times when we have something difficult to communicate.
The nuances are important, and we struggle to find just the right
words. Here is a letter-writing
service which can help you.
Generally
the process works as follows:
·
I talk with you and help you clarify exactly what you want
to say. I ask questions about the intended audience to help understand
when they may become defensive and what will help them best hear you.
·
I draft a letter. (Alternately, you may already have a
draft of a letter or wish to create one.)
·
We discuss the letter and needed revisions.
·
I make revisions until you are satisfied.
Examples
of situations where you might use this service:
Personal
·
Needing to confront someone about an important personal
issue. It could be a simple misunderstanding
or something as serious as confronting a person who perpetrated against
you.
·
Breaking off a relationship.
·
Trying to affect a reconciliation with someone. Making an apology.
Professional
·
Cover letter for a much-wanted job.
·
Dealing with a sticky professional issue or work dynamic.
Note: This service does not substitute for an attorney if one is needed.
Yet beginning with a sincere wish to communicate and striking the right
tone may avoid the need for attorneys later.
Credentials:
I
have the skills to help and the credentials to match. I am a licensed counselor, a previous communications
instructor and business writing instructor, and an editor and writer.
I can help you say what you need to say in a way that it can best
be heard.
