Professional correspondence by e-mail and letter

Contemporary - stylish - customer-oriented

This training is held in German.
Recipient-oriented emails and letters with a clear message are well received! In everyday office life, however, there is often no time to critically review correspondence and improve its style. Learn how to modernize your correspondence and optimize your texts with the help of numerous practice examples. This will not only improve your written communication and your personal language style, but also your company's image.
