Grammar Pattern
Letter of Confidentiality
Whenever you send a business plan to prospective businesses, financial institutions, or staff there is often an issue of confidentiality. There are several common ways of dealing with this:
Get your recipients to sign a confidentiality agreement
Insert a paragraph at the begining of the plan that binds the reader to secrecy
Try to not include sensitive information
The last option is not always practical since prospective investors - especially banks - will want to see key financial information. Sometimes it may be possible to openly hold back this confidential information and let your prospective investors know they will have access to it later once trust or preliminary agreements have been reached.
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 '비밀'이라는 단어를 일상적으로 사용하기 때문에 영어에서도 "secret"을 쓰는 경우가 많습니다. 하지만 비즈니스 문서에서는 "secret"보다 "confidential"이 훨씬 적절하고 전문적인 표현입니다. "Secret"은 개인적인 비밀을 뜻하는 반면, "confidential"은 공식적·법적 맥락에서 정보 보호를 의미합니다.
