UNIT 10. BUSINESS LETTERS
Letters are the most important means of communication because they officially represent your company. A letter which is badly typed on rather poor-quality paper with an old-fashioned letter head won't give your partner confidence in an organization which plays so little attention to its image. The three most important aspects of letter writing are the following: format, planning, style and tone.
Format. There are two main forms of layout of letters currently in use: the older semiblocked form and the newer fully blocked form. The latter is very widely used now. Both forms can also be used for handwritten letters.
Planning. There is a special order and place of principal parts of a business letter.
1. The date is typed in full on the right hand side.
2. The inside address - the address of the company written to - is stated
on the left hand side.
3. The salutation depends on if you know your correspondent or not. You write "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam" if the name of your correspondent is unknown for you. You write "Dear Mr. Brown" or "Dear Mrs. Brown" if you have formal relations with your correspondent. But if you know him or her
very well you can start your letter with salutation "Dear John" or "Dear Betty".
4. The beginning of the letter. In the first paragraph you can set up the tone for the rest of the letter. If you are answering the letter of your correspondent you should thank him for the letter and indicate clearly the date and the subject of that letter. If you are not replying to a letter you should state straight away what your letter is about.
5. The body of the letter. Every letter should deal with only one subject. It should be simple, clear, logical and polite.
6. The ending of the letter. The closing paragraph is the last of your letter. It should give a summary of everything written above and show your positive attitude to the future cooperation.
7. The complimentary close depends on the salutation of your letter. If your salutation was "Dear Sir" then the complimentary close should be "Yours faithfully". If your salutation was "Dear Mr. Brown" then your complimentary close would be "Yours sincerely".
8. The signature is put below the complimentary close, then goes your name in full and your position.
