Functions of the Business Letter
1. It provides a record of the activity for someone's file.
2. It allows the writer to provide more context or
explanation than is usually possible on a form.
3. It helps the audience( reader ) remember what is to be
done.

7 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022


The Main Components of a Business Letter
 Business letters usually contain the following information (in this order):

1. Writer's address (street, city, country).


2. Date of writing
3. Recipient's name, job title, and address
4. Subject
5. Salutation or Greeting (Dear Mr./ Mrs./ Ms…..)
6. Message (body of the letter)
7. Closing
8. writer's signature, typed name, and position of sender
9. In some situations, a business letter may also include the following optional information:
10. Writer's Initials: typist's initials ( if writer did not type letter).
11. Enclosures (Encl:)
12. Carbon copy Recipients (cc:)
13. Photocopy recipients (xc:)

Note: The last four components are not always included. For more information read P. 217.

8 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022


How Business Letters are Organized
 Business letters are more personal than most other forms of technical
writing.
 They emphasize the reader/writer relationship by the use of such pronouns
as I, we, and You.
 Business letters share some organizational features with technical reports.
They need to:

 orient the reader to the topic at hand,


 explain why the writer is writing,
 provide enough information to help the reader understand what he/she
is to do.

 To be able to provide this information, you need to generate ideas, analyze


your audience, decide what you need to say, and define your problem.

9 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022


Basic Letter Formats
 There are three common formats for the business
letter:

1. The unblocked format. (figure 11-5).


2. The semi-blocked format. (figure 11-6).
3. The blocked format. (figure 11-7).
4. The AMS simplified letter format.

10 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022


The unblocked format

 The first line of the paragraph is indented a few


spaces
 The writer's address, the date, the closing, the
writer's signature , and the typed version of the
writer's name and job title are indented two thirds of
the way across the page.

11 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022


12 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022
The semi-blocked format
 The first line of the paragraph is lined up with the left
margin
 There is an extra blank line between paragraphs to signal
the start of a new paragraph.
 The writer's address, date, closing, and signature are
indented as in the unblocked format.

13 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022


14 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022
The blocked format
 The first lines of paragraphs and all the other address, date,
closing and signature information are lined up with the left
margin.
 There is an extra blank line between paragraphs.

15 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022


16 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022
The AMS simplified letter format
 Sometimes, the writer does not know the name or marital
status of the reader. As a result, he/she will have a problem
writing a salutation Dear……..). This has given rise to a new
letter format called the AMS simplified letter format.
 In this format, the salutation is omitted.
 The subject line replaces the salutation and is typed in all
capital letters.
 In other respects, this format resembles the blocked format,
with every line beginning from the left margin.( see figure 11-
19. p. 219).

17 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022


18 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022
The Use of Letterhead Stationery

 When a writer is representing a company or organization,


he/she should use the organization's letterhead stationery for
correspondences with people outside the organization.
 When using letterhead, the location of the writer's address, city,
state will be changed.( see figure 11-1. p. 209)
 These are usually given in the letterhead typed at the top of the
page.
 If a letter requires more than one page, the additional pages are
called continuation pages are typed on plain paper, not
letterhead.

19 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022


20 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022
Forms of Address
 Letters normally begin with some sort of salutation (except for the AMS
simplified letter style).
 In formal correspondence, it is customary to use the recipient's title and last
name: “Dear Dr. Smith.”
 If the person does not have a title, use “Mr.” or “Ms.”
 In the American business world, it is becoming increasingly common to
address people by their first name as a sign of goodwill. However,
sometimes it is seen as disrespectful. So, try to make sure whether it is
acceptable or not.
 If you do not know whether the reader is male or female, do one of the
following:
 Use the complete name: “Dear J.L Williams.”
 Use both titles: ” Dear Mr. or Ms. Williams.”
 Use a memo format: “ To: J.L Williams.”
From: your name.”

21 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022

Subject : Letter for Complaint

Dear sir
We must of all thank you for prompt delivery of the books we had ordered only last week on
telephone. For the last so many years of our contact we have been highly satisfied with your prompt
and courteous service.
Today unfortunately, on opening the carton we found three sets of contemporary English’, part 1, 2
and 3 incomplete. The last chapter of each of these books is missing. We are convinced it is not your
fault. May be at some stage the books were not properly checked.
Anyway, we request you to kindly replace them immediately so that we could send them to the text-
book section where they are urgently needed.

Yours faithfully,
Mr. Piyush Tiwari

STATUS ENQUIRIES
INTRODUCTION-----
A Status enquiry by definition is “Checking on a
customer’s credit rating” and credit rating means “Amount
which a credit agency feels a customer should be allowed to
borrow”. In other words a status enquiry is a letter sent with
the aim of finding out a customer’s credit worthiness. It is
needless to say that a sizable amount of trading involves
credit that is a means by which good are bought and sold
without cash payment. The supplier usually has to extend
credit facility to the customers, thus enabling them to
conduct business with comparatively small capital.
 
41 Dr. Priyanka Mokshmar 05/23/2022
Sources of Information about Credit
Worthiness :
• Information about a customer’s credit worthiness or
credit rating can be gathered from the following sources;
 
(a)The customer himself’ through interview and the
financial statement submitted by him;
(b)The customer’s past orders and the salesmen’s report
about him and
(c) External sources like the trade and bank references given
by the customer and information from trade associations,
chambers of commerce.
