To Write The Perfect Business Letter
March 19th, 2010 | Author: admin
Business Letter Characteristics
There’s a big difference between a casual letter and a business letter. The business letter’s main purpose is to present your point clearly and concisely. It doesn’t beat around the bush. With this in mind, you’ll put your main point in the first line. Tell the reader exactly why you are writing and what you want.
A business letter also needs to have a formal tone. Don’t use slang or other expressions. On the other hand, don’t pull out your thesaurus and use complicated words. Keep the tone and your vocabulary professional, yet understandable.
The Parts of a Business Letter
Business letters follow a specific format. Any missing parts will be quickly noticed by the recipient, and might get your letter tossed or put aside.
The first part of your letter is the heading, or letterhead. You should type your name, address, phone number and (if necessary) your e-mail address at the top of your page. Some people like to center their letterhead for a more professional look.
Next will come the recipient’s address. This goes on the left side of the page. On the first line, type their name. Then on a separate line add their title, like Human Resource Manager, if they have one. Next add the address and phone number.
The date follows the recipient’s address and on the next line you’ll need a salutation. Typically you’ll address your letter Dear Mr. Smith:. Make sure to add the colon following the name. If you don’t know exactly whom your letter is going to, then address the letter To Whom It May Concern:.
Next comes the body of your letter. Use short paragraphs and don’t indent the lines. After you’ve gotten your point across, it’s a good idea to summarize the purpose of the letter in the last paragraph.
All you have left is the closing. You can use the old standby “Sincerely.” Other options are “Yours faithfully” or “Regards.”
Sending Your Business Letter
Make sure to proofread your business letter very carefully before you send it. Watch for errors in spelling and grammar. It can help to have someone else read it for you before you send it.
Print out a clean copy on nice paper. This is especially important if you’re applying

for a job. You’ll want to make sure there are no ink smudges or other printing errors on the copy that you send. Finally, either print out an envelope or neatly hand address one. Fold your letter in thirds, starting with the bottom, then covering that fold with the top third of the paper.
When you follow all of these steps, your business letter will be well received.

A Business Letter Of Intent
March 17th, 2010 | Author: admin
Representing a memo, a business letter of intent contains the details of a ‘business deal’ between two or more parties and includes the supply of products & services
A business letter of intent can be used in a number of situations including a commitment to purchase something, usually a business. It is also referred to as s Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
IN THE EARLY STAGES THERE’S VARIOUS OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO YOU.
It is extremely important that you choose the most suitable style so your document presents as professional as possible.
You can select from varying styles including Block Style, Modified Block Style, Semiblock Style. You can have a look at these varying options and select the one that you consider is most suitable.
WHILE DRAFTING A BUSINESS LETTER OF INTENT, THERE’S A NUMBER OF ISSUES YOU NEED TO CONSIDER -
1/ - It’s best mentioned that it is a non-binding document. The letter only needs to include the discussion points whilst exposing as little as possible about the actual issue.
If this is not adhered to, the other party may well commence litigation for breaking the contract if you cancel.
2/ - It should be clearly written in a neat & tidy fashion. The intentions of all concerned needs to be recorded in the document. Before commencing to write you’re best to make yourself familiar with the various styles of business letters.
3/ - After all the entities involved in the deal sign the memorandum of understanding, a joint press release should be issued. It sends a very positive message to the stockholders of the businesses involved.
4/ - A memorandum of understanding needs to note a time frame within which the agreement should be finalized. This is a significant point. Once you sign the document and issue a press release, all will be watching you.
For the sake of efficieny, it’s to everyone’s advantage that the agreement is completed as soon as practible.
5/ - A confidentiality accord is something which is an inherent component of any business contract. By signing a confidentiality accord, all those included agree that the details hashed out will remain co

nfidential.
These are but a few of the possible issues that you need to keep in mind when drafting up a business letter of intent. And, although it can be an expensive exercise, you really should consult your lawyer before you commence.
The money that you save in the event of a problem, may far outweigh the cost of legal advice.
