As I grew in my legal profession, I could tell about the author of any letter received from the length of his letters. So instinctively, first thing I did was to flip the note the number of pages of the letter. If I see two pages, I flip to see how lengthy the second page was.
If your letter is too lengthy, you are either beating about the bush, not sure of what you want or you are generally unorganized. To me, a standard formal letter has no business being longer than a page and half; otherwise, you lose your audience.
It is important to be precise when writing otherwise you begin to repeat yourself and lose the edge we once had. So when Eugene asked for 500 words, I wondered, “Does Eugene really want to subject himself to reading jargons?”. Then I realized two of the posts are to be were academical and the other freelance.
