Key Points to Writing
  • WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get.
  • Don't be afraid to ask for HELP.
  • The only person looking out for either you or your subordinate is YOU!
  • Use a spell checker (F7 in Office) 
  • Remember, writing doesn't have to win to REWARD!
  • Use various writing resources like Merriam-Webster Online.

The following Example has been taken out of IMT viewer so the formatting might be off.  I did not changed mission information, only names to protect myself and the people I have received the information from.  If you have anything you would like to submit, please do so.  If you have found this information useful, please let me know. Everyone of these letters has taken considerable amount of time to put together.  Please treat yourself to something special from one of the ads on the page.  We will both get something out of it.  (All money gathered pays for hosting fees and domain fees.  HONESTLY, when I see money come in it also prompts me to work harder on the site.)

NOTE:

One thing about monthly award packages is slack given to structure.  In my opinion this is acceptable because it is normally a young/new supervisors first attempts at writing.  (We all have to start somewhere).  Even with that said a couple of things are important even at this level.  #1) Spell Check the package, spelling errors reflect badly on the writer.  Monthly or not, IMT has a spellcheck, USE IT!  #2) Capitalization.  The first letter in every bullet needs to be capitalized.

Although those two items stick out the writer did an outstanding job identifying all of the acronyms and using the method of representing numbers.
