Abstract
The comparison of word frequencies of the business letters and the business memoranda indicates that a large percentage of high frequency words in business letters are not high frequency words in business memoranda; that a large percentage of high frequency words in business memoranda are not high frequency words in business letters; and that different words need to be emphasized when teaching vocabulary of business letters and business memoranda.
