Remember that your job is to make your boss look good.

You have to use every advantage you can find to communicate your manager’s professionalism, experience and importance. Business letters are not an exception to this rule.

The most common way people undermine their manager’s status is by abbreviating their titles in a letter. Abbreviating someone’s title makes the position look informal and obliterates the weight of its importance and level of responsibility.

Give them their due credit. Write out their full title.
