Introduction

A message, may it be an email or a letter or any other form of communication, is said to be effective if the receiver perceives exactly the same meanings which were intended by the sender to be conveyed.

These ten qualities are known as the ten C's of effective business communication (Krizan, 2007).

Hence, the message conveyed by the sender must be as such that it connects the recipient with them and perceive exactly the same as conveyed by the sender.

Creativity - pictures speak volumes. Displaying a visual, or providing an example, or stating a story, frequently underpins what the sender is trying to communicate. The sender is required to make use of their creativity in conveying their message.
