The basic elements of a business document include:
- An introduction section in which you state your purpose for writing the document.
- A body section, which provides facts and evidence and further explains the subject of the document. This should be at least three paragraphs that support, explain, and illustrate the thesis statement.
- A conclusion section that summarizes the composition, restates the thesis, and provides a "so-what?" factor. This can also include a call to action, which tells the reader what you want them to do with the information you have given them.
