 Business letters

A business letter serves as an example of transactional business

writing. It refers to a formal, printed document an individual
sends to a colleague, supervisor or professional associate.
There are several types of business letters, including:

 BUSINESS PROPOSAL LETTERS

 LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION
 INTERVIEW FOLLOWUP LETTERS
 OFFER LETTERS
 LETTERS OF RESIGNATIONINESS
 email

Using email, the sender can convey their message to a

recipient via the internet.Typically, an individual sends
an email to colleagues or clients to provide information
or ask them to take action on something. Like a business
letter, business emails often include a salutation, closing
statement and the sender's contact information. While
emails tend to be a less formal communication method,
they must still follow appropriate language and grammar
to demonstrate professionalism in the workplace.
memo
A business memo represents an example of instructional business writing.
It is a brief, less formal method of communicating information within an
organization. A memo is typically a brief message focused on one
purpose. While less formal than a report or business letter, it still needs to
maintain language appropriate for the workplace.
handbooks
An employee handbook provides information to employees to ensure they
understand and comply with company policies and procedures. A handbook
instructs employees, so it must use straightforward and concise language to
ensure their understanding. For example, a handbook describes companies'
policies regarding compensation, dress code, time-off and schedules. It may
also provide information about a company, such as its mission, values, history
and employment terms.
 Business reports
This type of document outlines
important information about the
business or a specific project.
Typically, its purpose is to provide
data, research and other information to
help other stakeholders make business formal writing. Instead, it can use
related decisions. Businesses use
various types of reports, such as:
Compliance reports
Feasibility reports
Investigative reports
Recommendation reports
Meeting agendas
It is a document that outlines the
topics covered during a meeting
and the goals it aims to achieve. A
meeting agenda serves as an
outline, so it does not require
incomplete sentences, shorthand. It
also defines how much time to
allot to each task or topic. The
meeting agenda also may include
other details, such as the date, time
and location of the meeting.
 Press releases

Organizations use press releases to share

announcements or news with an external audience.
Companies can publish a press release on their
website or news publications, whether online or in
newspapers. Its purpose is often to promote an
organization or build its reputation—although an
organization sometimes must use a press release in
response to negative news or events.
Because press releases reach the public, they need to
use professional language and accurate information.
 newsletters
A newsletter is an example of business writing that organizations can use
internally and externally. While internal newsletters serve an
informational purpose, external newsletters can be a persuasive form of
business writing.

Newsletters typically represent a less formal type of business writing.

Internal company newsletters may use more relaxed language to build
excitement about upcoming events, celebrate recent successes or highlight
impressive employees.

Similarly, external newsletters tend to use a more casual style to appeal

and relate to their customers.
