Paul Said:

Business Letters?

We Answered:

A good business letter is "you based." You want to front load with the main idea. Tell immediately why you are writing.

Then explain your request or response. Provide details. Consider using lists, bullets or columns to improve readability.

Provide a courteous conclusion. In requests, tell what action you want. Provide end date if appropriate.

Make sure your content is clear, with a tone of good will. It should be in correct block format, check for grammar, typos, and word usage.

The envelope should be addressed to the person you want to read it, the company, and the company's address. It should also have your return address.
