2. Is complete. All of the reader ’ s Questions are answered. The reader has enough information to evaluate the message and act on it. 3. Is correct. All of the information in the message is accurate. The message is free from errors in punctuation,spelling,grammar,word order,and sentence structure.

4. Saves the reader ’ s time. The style, organization, and visual impact of the message help the reader to read, understand,and act on the information as quickly as possible.(Time is Money) 5. Builds goodwill. The message presents a positive image of the writer and his or her organization. It treats the reader as a person,not a number. It cements a good relationship between the writer and the reader.

These six functions tell you what kind of writing you will produce after you successfully answer the who? why? what? and how? Just discussed.
