That is so important.  It even works for the structure of a good post, speech or article.  Tell them what you’re going to tell them about, tell them about it, then tell them what you’ve told them.  If you want to make an impact with your message, that’s the way to do it.

It’s what my high school teachers referred to as a "hamburger essay." The introduction and conclusion are the bun, and the meat is in the middle.
