Knowing how to write a business letter is an academic necessity for students of business, commerce, banking, and finance. It is also a useful skill for anyone planning to enter an administrative role in any industry or profession.
Business letters are used for correspondence between organizations, firms and companies, institutions, and various boards and committees. They are documents frequently used in all levels of government. Students planning to correspond formally in any walk of life need to learn how to write a business letter.
Cover letters, application letters, letters of acceptance, confirmation letters, letters of introduction, letters of appointment, and cancellation letters are different types of business letters. A successful business letter forms a lasting impression, not only of the person who signs it, but also of the business or organization it represents.
The manner in which a person communicates alerts readers to their capacity, their level of education, personality, and professionalism. Whether it is a sales letter, or a brief message confirming a meeting, a letter must clearly inform the receiver. The basic principles for all types of business letters are much the same.
