We are not so used as our American cousins to the practice of letter books from which we can extract the appropriate epistle at the drop of a function key. Never-the-less, there is more than enough material in here to take into our own letters without ever lifting a paragraph directly.
The model is to start with a scenario “You’ve made a sexist remark to a visiting V.I.P.”; show a draft letter; analyse the draft paragraph by paragraph, adding in the underlying concepts as they arise; closing with a few more sample letters using addressing the same kind of flub, flounder or frailty.
The final ‘bonus’ chapter is on ‘the Gentle Art of crafting a letter as a gift’ ~ in this case a short Christmas story in its own gift wrapping. And, if you do use letters from books, an Appendix has another hundred routine letters samples for you to pick and choose from. ( )
