  • Abstract
    How can successful computer-based writing software be modelled using a thematic role and a genre approach? This paper will discuss the genre approach for a specific business letter, which is an adjustment letter, for young executives in Malaysia. The paper will then study the use of a thematic role in order to provide the meaning of the text, and how this can be combined with the genre approach, to address executives´ writing problems.
