DOCUMENT CULMINATION PROJECT
You are employed as an account manager for a newly opened
travel agency named East Coast Travel. Your boss, Charles

prepare a variety of business documents related to opening a new business, advertising,

For any letters that he directs you to prepare in his name, you must use his preferred
format: block style with mixed punctuation and block paragraphs. When keying his name
