Clear and concise writing is an important aspect in all professional writing. The audience does not want to have to spend a long time trying to find the point of your paper, report, email, etc. Rather, the writing should state early on (in the first few sentences) the main point of the piece so that the audience knows what they are about to read. The audience is more likely to consider what you are saying if they are not annoyed with wasting time trying to find the main point of your writing. In a world where everybody wants things done in a timely manner, concise writing is becoming increasingly important.
