  1. Mr. Scott, do we have to write our business letter in the Shaffer format or can we leave it the way it is?

  2. Do we have to use the schaffer model to write our buisness letter?

  3. I mentioned it in passing a couple of times in class: I guess that wasn’t clear enough. Yes, this is an opportunity (read: requirement) to use the Schaffer model paragraph. (Wasn’t that also on the rubric we worked on at the courses site?)

  4. Is it ok if the letter takes up more than one page?

  5. In this case, yes.

  6. Do you have to write the concluding paragraph in schaffer format?

  7. There’s really no way you could do that, is there?
