Letters l 3.1 Form A letter has six parts: the heading, the inside address, the salutation, the body, the complimentary close, and the signature. 3.1.1 The heading The heading gives the full address of the writer and the date of the letter. It is usually written or typed in the upper right-hand corner of the first page. e.g. : British American Ms. Jennifer Stone, Ms. Jennifer Stone 20 Fairview Drive, 20 Fairview Drive Eastbourne, BN18 2BU, Eastbourne, BN18 2BU England. England 3.1.2 The inside address The inside address, which is often omitted in personal letters, gives the name and full address of the addressee. It goes above the salutation. As in the heading, the use or nonuse of end punctuation depends on the preference of the writer. 3.1.3 The salutation The salutation is written flush with the left margin two spaces below the inside address. e.g.: Dear Professor /Prof. Smith:/, Dear Mr. /Dr. Stein:/, Dear Ms. Santos:/, ( or Dear Miss Santos:/,) Dear Ms. Singh:/, ( or Dear Mrs. Singh:/,) In letters to organizations, or to persons whose names you do not know, the following greetings are used: Dear Sir: ( or Dear Madam: or Dear Sir or Madam: /if you do not know the gender of your addressee) To whom it may concern: ( only for testimonials and things of that kind) Dear colleague: ( to a person who is of the same profession as the writer, and usually used when you are sending a circular to many people) To Someone Unknown? 3.1.4 The body In the body of the letter, all paragraphs should begin flush with the left margin ( the block style) or begin with an equal indention ( the indented style), and the letter is usually single-spaced within the paragraph and double-spaced between paragraphs. 3.1.5 The complimentary close The conventional complimentary closes in business letters are: “Yours truly,” “Yours Sincerely,” “Sincerely yours,” “Sincerely,” “Cordially yours” or “Yours cordially.” The closes of a personal letter are: “Affectionately,” “Fondly,” “Yours with love,” “With best wishes,” “Love,” “Yours,” “As ever,” etc The closing can be put either on the right-hand side or left-hand side of the page. 3.1.6 The signature In a business letter the handwritten signature is placed between the complimentary close and the typed name of the writer. In a personal letter, you may sign your full name, your first name, or even a nickname in accordance with your relationship with the addressee. If you happen to have something additional to say after you have finished the letter, you may begin with P.S., which stands for “postscript,” and then write what you wish to add. 3.2 Language l Generally speaking, the style and tone of a personal letter differ from those of a business letter the former is casual, whereas the latter is formal. However, for either of them, the language should be clear and direct. 3.3 Addressing an Envelope l Write the full name and the address of the addressee in the middle part of the envelope. l The return address which gives the full name and address of the writer is placed in the upper left- hand corner of the envelope. l The following is an example.

Why a subject? fear of viruses; a waste of time. Missing reason? Subject contents: 1. Keep the subject short and clear: avoid certain headings-viruses short but specific subject are needed Subject contents: 1. short and clear: but avoid too general headings; Subject contents: product information vs. Laptop T400 information News about next weeks meeting vs. Next weeks meeting cancelled 3. Greetings: a friendly but business-like tone; choice of the forename versus the surname? Punctuation omission e.g. Dear Miss Lawson e.g. Dear David purpose 1. what the message is about in the first paragraph. 2. full details and discussion in the following paragraphs. 3. the final paragraph indicates what should happen next. E-mail Writing e.g. I will send a message to your office on Tuesday Morning to collect the faulty goods. Please let me have your order by the beginning of the month. Politeness and Tone: Try to be polite- Superior staff: Please Subordinates: Would you or I would be grateful if Attachments: Refer to attachments Include the attachments Use them only when they are really needed clear file name of the attachment E.G. Try not to use an attachment unless you are Sending complicated documents; Sometimes attachments can be annoying. Suppose some customers just want to know A specific information of a product. Instead of Answering the question clearly in the body of The mail, you send them the brochure of the Product which include more than a hundred questions. What will the customers feel? Annoyed or ignored? If you use an attachment, make sure that the file name describe the content, and is not too general. E.G. “The message doc” is bad But “Quality Assurance Report 2006. doc” Is good. Endings: End the message in a polite way. Common endings are the ones in letter writing Names: Include your name E.G.
