What do you mean by direct order writing? Explain the general direct plan.

Direct communication happens when a speaker’s true intentions are communicated in his/her verbal message. It expresses the speaker’s/sender’s needs and desires explicitly. When a direct communicator wants or needs something, he/she will come right out and say it’.

Direct communicators take the other speaker’s words at face value: they will not analyze the message for underlying meaning. They value the effectiveness of short, direct answers, and expect and respect honesty and frankness.

THE GENERAL DIRECT PLAN

Beginning with the Objective: We will begin with our objective. If we are seeking information, we will start by asking for it. If we are giving information, we will start giving it. We will lead with our objective. In some cases we might need to lead with brief orienting phrase, clause, or even sentence. Suppose, if the reader is not familiar with us or our company, we will preface our main point with a few words of background. But we will get to the main point as soon as possible.

Covering the Remaining Part of the Objective: Covering remaining part of the objective is important. If we can cover all of our objectives in the beginning (as in an inquiry in which a single question is asked), nothing else is required. But if additional questions, answers, or such are needed, we will cover them. We will cover them systematically probably by listing or paragraphing. We will cover everything that needs to be covered.

Ending with Adapted Goodwill: We will end the message with some appropriate friendly comment. These final goodwill words will receive the best reader reaction. There is nothing wrong with usual routine, rubber-stamp expressions, but we will use individually tailored expressions that fits the one case.
