Bullet points are used to draw attention to important
information within a document so that a reader can identify the

introducing the list of bullet points should end with a colon. -
If the text that follows the bullet point is not a proper
sentence, it doesn’t need to begin with a capital letter and it
shouldn’t end with a full stop, for example: Tonight's agenda
includes: - annual review of capital gains issues - outstanding

IS a complete sentence, it should begin with a capital letter. A
full stop at the end is technically required but is not
absolutely essential: The agenda for tonight is as follows: - We
will conduct an annual review of capital gains issues. - The
senior tax manager will talk about outstanding inheritance tax

one begins with the same word class (
