Business Letter Assignment

Purpose: To learn the correct and appropriate format for writing and sending business
letters.

Your task:
1. Choose a company/business with which you’ve done business in the past. It can
be a restaurant, a store, a web site, etc. You have to choose for yourself…because
in your letter, you’re going to be telling them about your experiences there.
2. Decide if you’d like to compliment this company or complain to this company.
3. Write a business letter – at least 3 paragraphs – in which you either complain to or
compliment them.
4. Follow correct business letter format – see opposite.
5. Be sure to include accurate contact information.
6. After I’ve checked your rough draft, you need to TYPE the final.
7. Enclose your letter in a legal-sized envelope, that is correctly addressed and
stamped. DO NOT SEAL IT.

I will grade your letters/envelopes, seal the envelopes, and mail them. Hopefully, you
will receive a reply. Please bring in your reply to share when/if you receive it.
