Tip: DOE on job postings

DOE: Dependent on Experience

This is usually associated with the expected salary figure

Tip: To mind your Ps and Qs

That is to be polite; hence, to consider saying the words: Please  and Thank you.


That's actually both an English and a Business communication tip, beside being an English idiom.

English Language Tip: Fortnight

It is an old English term used as a unit of time equals 14 days or 2 weeks.


Just a note to be careful because it is sometimes used in business referring to salaries, pay periods, social security benefits, or during task scheduling activities. 

Forget about: Dear Sir or Madame, ....

Whenever I start a communication addressing someone whom I do not know, the first and easiest thing that comes to my mind is to address it to something like:

Dear Sir or Madame, ...

However, by experience and I mean it by personal experience, it is the first and easiest opening that makes the impression for the recipient that  the content is important, for the simple reason that the sender is a complete stranger who does not know the least about me whether I am a male or a female!

I can suggest that usually a very little search about the recipient will highly improve the efficiency for the communication, and in the very rare situations where the least about the recipient can not be concluded; a better alternative would be using the recipient title like:

Dear Agent,
Dear Chief....,
Dear IT specialist,

Please advise or Please advice

I am pretty sure that this is already clear for native English speakers, and any English beginner learner that:
Advice (Noun) - Advise (Verb)

So the correct form should be: Please advise.

However, this time what is confusing me is MS Outlook! It do not like both!!!

Microsoft Outlook 2013 (15.0.4615.1000) 32-bit

I, me and myself. Which one to use?!

Most of us might have faced this confusion at least once during preparing a very formal business communication. Hence, the anxiety of committing a grammatically incorrect choice!

The key is: 
    1) Remove the  accompanying subject and object.
    2) Make the decision.
    3) Restore the omitted word(s).

Examples: Select either: I, me or myself

Ali and (??) prepare the document.
Please send the document to Ali and (??).
I will bring the required documentation for Ali and (??).

Answers:

Ali and (??) prepare the document.
Step 1\2: I prepare the document.
Step 3: Ali and I prepare the document.

Please send the document to Ali and (??).
Step 1\2: Please send the document to me.
Step 3: Please send the document to Ali and me.

I will bring the required documentation for Ali and (??).
Step 1\2: I will bring the required documentation for myself.
Step 3: I will bring the required documentation for Ali and myself.

PS:
Myself is used for an action done by the speaker and involves the speaker .
