Written communication method | Purpose in the workplace | Technical or expository writing | Why the classification was chosen | E-mail | For both external and internal use. This form of communication can be used for writing close friends, and family. This may also be used within a company via co-workers as well as communicating with customers and other business contacts. | Expository Writing. | I chose E-mail as an expository form of writing because the purpose is used for the purpose of explaining and describing the writers point to the reader. This can also be classified as technical, but only if the sender was giving information on services. | Memo | This is meant for internal use, this is largely used to communicate with fellow employees. | Expository Writing | Again, this form of communication is utilized to provide information on what is being conversed. | Letter | Outside use, meant to reach a contact outside of the corporation. | Expository Writing | This form of communication gives relays information of another individual. | Manual | This can be used for training as well as a company guide book. | Technical Writing | This form of communication is designed to explain a task and how to complete it. | Website | Various uses. E-commerce, intranet, training. | Expository Writing/ Technical Writing | This form of communication is based solely upon the usage of it.
