When writing formal documents do Spaniards write 'vosotros' or 'ustedes'.Which of the 2 is proper for business?

We Answered:

In Spain, vosotros is used to address two or more friends.

Uds. is used for formal situations.

So, if you are writing a formal document, then you use Uds.

(I was taught that Vds. was passing from fashion, but that it is still used...they are interchangeable...Vds, and Uds.)

What is the easiest font to read and most accepted for business documents?

We Answered:

Well, Times is the standard of the world, basically. Even the New York Times still uses it on their website. The serif lines make it easier for the eye to follow on a printed page.

For a non-serif font, try Tahoma or perhaps Chicago. I like both of those. Verdana's not bad, either.

For a more traditional, serif font, try Century or Courier New. Courier New is almost typewriter-like, and very easy to follow on printed paper.

what is document planning primer for business writing?why is it important?

We Answered:

Well, you win the prize for uninformative business speak! One year of Dilbert cartoons.

Planning primers brings up ERPs and I understand how important it is, to coordinate all areas of a business, making that switch.

Hmm, that would cause many documents for any business. I worked at Schlumberger when they switched to SAP. The smart ones used it and abused it. The "planning primer" told us to report bugs, doors, etc. to the roll-out group. I reported bugs and big doors. I kept small doors to myself.

I suspect you're asking many thousands of employees to make changes and desire compliance.

Employees need to be told to make changes in increments, with dates, so they can deal with problems. If there's an old computer that needs to be updated, someone has to make that happen.

I had to accept notice of ERP rollout, make a list of our pc's, software, etc. A document planning primer prepares everyone for changes. The primer depends upon the size and scope of the business. It's important for compliance.

How do you write a letter to a CPA requesting personal and business financial documents?

We Answered:

If it's your business and your personal financial records you need, just call your CPA and ask for copies. If you want business and personal financial documents related to someone else or some company you are not associated with, it's simply not going to happen. You have no right to that information and no CPA will disclose it to you - it would be unethical and could easily end their career.

Georgia Said:

business writing and academic writing?

We Answered:

Business writing is informal and technical; academic writing is formal and descriptive. Business writing could be reports, emails, surveys, bullet points, and press releases; academic writing includes research papers and essays. These are the exact types of documents instructors and directors would see.

Hope you get the answer right! ;-D
