If you change your mind later and decide you prefer another format, it is easy to go back and re-set the default in the same way as above.

Where I used to work we had a Mailroom and I would plunk what I needed in a tray with a form to tell them how I wanted it to turn out and return to get it when it was finished. I am good at some things, but not as confident in other things. For instance, I am horrible at collating. I liked that. Now I have to do it myself. 411 Look Up 411.ca

Put it in a folder for your boss’s signature in completed form, i.e. envelope clipped to letter and attachments. If you are sending the letter by regular mail, courier or registered mail, make sure you have the proper postage, courier slips or forms filled out. I usually put a sticky note on it for that as well. 411 Look Up 411.ca

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

AUGUST 7, 2012

years and recently made an internal move, becoming the EA to a C-Level executive. Does your boss have allergies, special diet needs, medications (like epinephrine for bee stings?), Are there favorites of anything your boss likes - their coffee, restaurants, cafeteria lunch food, etc?
