Structure: The skeleton of the business letter has an additional section for mentioning details about the issue referred in the letter. It starts with the addresses and subject line. Be brief while writing the subject section. It should just be a pointer. Content: Here you should mention the purpose of writing the letter. You may mention the business deal or proposal you are referring to in case it is about something related to that. If it is for a different purpose then you may write it in the subject line for example if it is an inquiry.

Many people in business heaved a sigh of relief when email began to take over most of their day-to-day correspondence. Processing business letters - even today - is fiddly and fussy compared with the blissful simplicity of email. However as you know there are still times when ink on paper is essential. Many of the so-called "professions" (legal accountancy etc) in the UK at least still insist on correspondence being done via printed letters.
