Be objective and specific and support what you say with evidence, such as facts, statistics or testimonials, and don't seek your objective. Be even-handed; If you are presenting possibilities, give all options a fair hearing and don’t leave out important information.
If your reader finds out you’ve omitted key facts, you’ll lose credibility.[2]
