Persuasive documents attempt to convince the audience to subscribe to the writers’ point of view. Advertisements, resumes, performance appraisals and fund-raising appeals are all types of persuasive documents. Wriyting a persuasive document may take a bit more strategy than writing other kinds of documents because the writer must predict and address potential audience objections. Persuasive document writers may address audience objections by appealing to emotions and offering reasons to take immediate action.
