I am the Training Director of a bank in Pennsylvania. I used the book Great Business Writing for a Business Writing course I offered for our employees. It is easy to read, easy to understand and easy to implement. The book includes examples and exercises for practical application. Everyone can learn something new that will improve their writing skills! We will use it again!
