Three of the standard forms of business writing that you may encounter in business writing are the following:

• The business letter: - https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Professional_and_Technical_Writing/Business_Communications/Letters

• The memo:  https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Professional_and_Technical_Writing/Business_Communications/Memos

The Purdue Owl also has good information on memo structure and format.

The Memo Structure and format is:  https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/590/1/

• The Internal Report : https://www.cengage.com/school/digitools/corpview/Mission-CriticalFunctions/CorpCommunications/memoreports.htm

Another excellent example of the internal report memo from Northern Kentucky University's Matthew Ford :

When you have completed your review of these forms of business writing, do the following:

1) Choose one of the sites that you reviewed.

2) In a paragraph of about 100 words, explain two or three key elements that the web site notes about a specific form of business writing (identify whether you are discussing letters, memos, or reports).

It would be especially good if you noted something that surprised you or that you disagreed with based on your own career experience with the type of business writing you discuss.
