Meet Dixie, the First Cat-Expert in Business Correspondence

Testimonial Thank you very much for your wise tips and explanations. I am really grateful that you make all this information available for everyone in such an entertaining yet clear way. I really appreciate the fact that you have covered even all the details that many people would consider obvious or silly and always leave unexplained, like questions of typesetting, paper, folding, margins and many more. A big hug from Argentina! Mariano Felice

Meet Dixie Cleverelle, a very clever cat and the very first Cat-Expert in Business Correspondence. Ms. Cleverelle’s goal here is to make you humans as savvy as humanly possible in this subject (excuse my pun). I am a proud owner of this prodigy cat and I pledge my word that she is a true expert in the field.

Here Dixie will introduce you to all types of business correspondence. Those of you who think they know everything there is to know about the subject will find out that Dixie possesses extensive knowledge and can pleasantly surprise even the experts by posting on this site really valuable information.

But don't just take my word on it: see for yourself. Dixie knows that if you've been involved in any business even for the shortest time you have already realized that business correspondence is a huge part of it. No matter how high or low you are on the corporate ladder, you deal with all those letters, emails, faxes, memos on a daily basis. And sometimes writing or formatting them is not as easy as you would have thought.

No one would argue that business correspondence is important. It is also different in different countries (Surprise, Surprise!). And there are quite a few English speaking countries in the world. By the way, Dixie would like to know if you can name all of them. Counting the ones where English is spoken as a second language, of course. Otherwise it would have been too easy, right?

So, you probably realize that Dixie had to choose one country to be able to go into detail about its business correspondence, and she decided to focus on the US. Throughout this site Dixie will also comment on some European ways where she finds it appropriate.

Dixie is sure that she can help you become savvy in business correspondence in a very short time or at least provide you with a great reference guide. Bookmark or RSS this site for future use as Dixie assures you, you will need it really often. In the long run, you will discover that Dixie can save you a great deal of time as you won't need to remember all little peculiarities of business correspondence: Dixie has them for you in one convenient place.
