Business Communication

Structure of the Business Letter

The business letter consists of seven principal parts: (1) the letterhead, (2) the date, (3) the inside name and address, (4) the salutation, (5) the message, (6) the complimentary closure and (7) the writer's signature and official position.

The letterhead

The letterhead expresses a firm's personality. It gives the name and address of the firm, telephone numbers, telegraphic addresses, the telegraphic codes, fax numbers, and states the company's business. For companies registered in the

United Kingdom with limited liability the word Limited (Ltd) must form part of the name. Companies formed with limited liability in the United States use the word INC.

The Date

Always type the date in full, in the logical order of day, month, year, thus:

Example:

Date: 20th September 2012 or 20 September 2012 or September 20, 2012.
