The last one is only good if you actually read it. I might end up seeing the first clause, assuming the entire line is irrelevant, and moving on without seeing the "Otherwise".

Prefer declarative statements:

"If you are 60 or older, you must fill form 445.

If you are 59 or younger, you must fill form 331."



But I can't short-circuit those, so I have to read all of them just in case multiple apply.
