In content and form, a business message should show that you have the interests of the audience in mind. The subject of a sentence almost always becomes the focus or emphasis. So rather than focusing on the I-voice, the focus of a business message should be on your reader (you-voice), your shared interests with the reader (we-voice), or simply the business issue at hand (impersonal voice).
