Business Letters / November 17, 2018 / Tami Silva.
When you write to a title the salutation is "Dear Sir " "Dear Madam " or if you want to play it safe "Dear Sir/Madam." When you write to an organization it s "Dear Sirs " Dear "Mesdames " or again if you want to play it safe (but labor the point) "Dear Sirs/Mesdames." Your sign off will be "Yours faithfully" (UK) or "Yours truly" (US and Canada.) Less formal letters This is where you have a name. And this is where you can get into hot water if you re not sure of the gender of the person. Someone called J C Jennings could be a Jack or a Joanna. Someone called Leslie Matthews could also be either (traditionally the female version of the name is spelled "Lesley" and the male "Leslie " but I know at least one lady Leslie.) Equally beware of unisex names like Jody Jo Bobbie Alex Rob Robin Carol (yes really ) Billie Chris Darryl Eddie Sam Jackie Nicky Frances (f) vs Francis (m) Freddie Gabrielle (f) vs Gabriel (m) Georgie Gerry/Jerry Charlie Nat Harry Jessie (f) vs Jesse (m) Stevie Mel Pat Ronnie Sacha Sandy etc. And that s before we get started on names from non English-language cultures. People these days usually don t advertise whether they re "Mr" or "Ms" or whatever.
Welcome Letter: This letter is either written by a company or an organization to welcome the client on board and thank him for preferring the company to meet all the satisfactory needs and desires. 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.
In the following find some useful tips for writing a business letter. Layout: The layout of the formal business letter is the blocked one which is also known as the American letter writing format. Unlike before the British writing format has been long gone and it has been replaced with intending all the contents to the left of the page. 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.

When in doubt don t risk embarrassment; phone the organization concerned and ask. Some people borrow an awful technique from email and use a person s whole name in the salutation e.g. "Dear Suzan St Maur." I don t know about you but this irritates the h*ll out of me and I would not recommend it. So when your letter is addressed to "Mr J C Jennings" your salutation is "Dear Mr Jennings." If the information you have is simply "Joanna C Jennings" you can probably take a chance and write a salutation of "Dear Ms Jennings." I don t know many male Joannas but don t count on it... Writing business letters is a skill that a person should have since it involves creating formal correspondences concerning your company product or service.
