Can writing adjournment-letter in the first person give you an advantage?
Can writing adjournment-letter in the first person give you an advantage?
Did you ever get any chance to read adjournment letters to tax officers? You might have. If you have, then you must have noticed the typical English used in them. Professionals write them in third person and passive voice. These two make English so complicated that most people do not understand there meaning. I have written one adjournment letter in the first person and active voice. Can you read and tell me how it sounds?
