2. Failing to proofread – Not taking time after writing to thoroughly review your work for errors or typos can result in documents that lack clarity and professionalism.
3. Writing in an informal tone – Business writing should follow formal standards of language usage; using slang, colloquialisms, or overly complex vocabulary could confuse or alienate readers.
4. Omitting necessary information – Important details such as contact information, dates, times, costs, etc., should not be left out when writing business documents.
5. Neglecting audience needs/expectations – It is important to consider who will be reading your document and tailor it appropriately according to their preferences – i.e., what level of detail do they need/expect?
