If you are employed by a corporation or working on your own, one thing to avoid in any and all correspondence to the "outside" world is designer-babble. Even though you might be tempted to show off your expertise, the client will see this as being unnecessarily elitist. You might enjoy the relationship with your client a bit more if you talk in layman's terms.
