Effective Writing 10th Edition by Claire May,Gordon May

Exercise 10

You are a successful management accountant employed by a large international corporation. The son of a good friend of yours is considering majoring in accounting in college. He is interested in accounting and international business and has recently learned that the AICPA and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants jointly offer a Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) designation, but knows nothing more about it. Your friend has asked you to write his son, Mitch Wilson, a letter explaining what a CGMA designation is, how to obtain it, and what benefit this credential might be to him if he is eventually employed in an international business environment. Write the letter using proper format, effective organization, and appropriate style. Invent any information you feel is necessary to make your letter complete.
