review of a classmate's technical writing revision

I choose to review Jenny Mockford's technical writing exercise. First off I would like to say she did a very good job of rewriting the paper. She condensed the information into a form that was easy to read and understand. She took out a lot of unneeded words and restructured the entire paper. It flows rather well and it really gets to the point. Each point is no longer than two lines and explains what has to be done step by step.

below is her writing

Rhetoric in letters

Rhetoric is all around us, especially in the letters we receive. I recently received some mail from a local bank trying to entice me to join. They tried to build on their ethos saying things such as: we have been part of the local community for over twenty-five years, we are your friends and neighbors, and we are a stable financial institution that’s backed by the federal government. They also used a fare amount of logos stating different account options and how they would increase your capital. It’s crazy to see how these companies are using rhetoric in their marketing campaign, but what is even more important is being able to detect this rhetoric in your daily life.
