Front Matter:
Most final reports have front matter attached:
-
Main
Elements of the Completion Report
-
Letter of
Transmittal
-
Title Page
-
Abstract
-
Executive summary
I gladly admit that most final reports do not have
an abstract and an executive summary, but, for the purposes of this
class, I want to give you practice with writing both along with the
letter of transmittal.
NOTE:
Each of the pieces of front matter has a different purpose,
audience, and level of technicality:

transmittal, abstract, and executive summary
