Finally help has arrived in finding the words for those letters you simply have to write.

Ever since I read Shirley Ann Parker's Discoveries, I have liked this writer's way with words, & I am not disappointed with What Shall I Write?.

If you've ever been at a loss as to how to say something kind or considerate; what exactly to say on an invitation or congratulation; or you're frustrated, furious, yet you don't want to make an enemy; or you know you want to be magnanimous, even gracious & you can't stand the person...What Shall I Write? is the book for you!

More, as you read the letters Shirley Ann Parker has composed, you will see mysteries unfold, after I'd read “Late Homework” P. 76 & “Stop Following Me Around!” P. 60, stories started unravelling in my mind! The letters are like little “who-dun-its”--you just have to wonder at the stories behind Shirley Parker's examples!

An unpretentious, delightful book that is interesting. informative & entertaining covering such subjects as Announcements to Apologies, from Asking A Favor to Cancellations; Complaints to Congratulations; Decline to Participate to Encouragement; Get Lost! to Get Well Soon; Goodbye, Good Luck to Invitation; Miscellaneous to Reminders; Retirement to Sympathy; Thank You to Welcome Letters, home life, school or work related, snappy & sappy, funny & serious, they're all here, just fill in your blanks!

Give What Shall I Write? to everyone you know who needs to write letters, it doesn't matter whether via email or paper. The letters will inspire you to compose something well written, effective & memorable!

What Shall I Write? is not only a useful book, it's a fun read too! Well done!
