520			_aSooner or later, everyone has some reason to write a business letter. And almost everyone finds this difficult to do--even people who are normally comfortable with other kinds of writing assignments. There are two good reasons why the business letter is a challenge.

It can clarify a puzzling point or obscure it further--and so on, over the range of effects from the most positive to the most negative. As everyone knows, a business letter must be right, and this obligation can be frightening.
