 Character Building
Tips on How to Write an Announcement:
Be direct and concise in your announcement. Your reader will be able
to understand the information quickly and can refer back to it easily.
Write a short, friendly announcement that's to the point when you're
sharing positive news. Written in the right tone, an announcement can
show a wish to keep up a business or personal relationship. It can also
build on positive feelings like confidence, allegiance, and helpfulness.
Recognize what others have achieved in your announcement, and
motivate your reader to reach similar goals.
Present your information in a plain and complete way, so your reader
will understand you the first time (and not ask questions later).
If the news you are announcing is bad, write it in a direct statement.
Add a message of understanding and optimism to your announcement, in
a respectful tone.
