The origins of this exercise are kind of cute (although aggravating at the time) but the emphasis is how to condense a letter.
Your instructor at one time dabbled in real estate. He did meet a lot of interesting tenants. Probably one of the most interesting couples is the subject of this letter. The husband, through his job, was well connected with real estate lawyers in my county and it was apparent that this letter would be read by several willing to do a for for this couple. So, who the letter written to: in essence some unknown lawyer. It was important to direct the lawyer's eyes to what I would do if this was taken to court
We start with the text involved in an answer to letter asking for an explanaion of charges leveled against an escrow account. Click here to see this document
Since this was not a friendly letter, I felt that I could pull out all the stops in condnsing this to two pages. But, there is one inclusion that would take up quite a bit of space and that is a digital picture of Tricia's art on the walls. YOu can see this picture (and save it where you need it to do this problem) by clicking here.
So, what was the final result. Click her to see this. Notice that we have takn slightly more than 2 pages of text, aded a icture and created a document that sits within 2 pages comfortably. I think you would also agree that the document looks better and accomplishes what I need, directing eyes to what I'm emphasizing - that any appearance in court would be expensize to this couple and any lawyer stupid enough to try anythiong would have their head handed to them.
