Business Letters in
     English
• Business letters are formal paper
  communications between, to or from
  businesses and usually sent through the Post
  Office or sometimes by courier. Business
  letters are sometimes called "snail-mail" (in
  contrast to email which is faster).
• This lesson concentrates on business letters
  but also looks at other business
  correspondence. It includes:
     • letter
     • memo
     • fax
     • email
Letter
• A commercial business letter is a letter
  written in formal language, usually used when
  writing from one business organization to
  another, or for correspondence between such
  organizations and their customers, clients and
  other external parties. The overall style of
  letter will depend on the relationship between
  the parties concerned.
There are two main styles of
  business letters:

• Full block style: Align all elements on the left
  margin.
• Modified block style: Down the middle of the
  page, align the return
  address, date, closing, signature, and typed
  name; align other elements on the left page
  margin.

Memo
•   A memorandum or memo is a document or other communication that helps the
    memory by recording events or observations on a topic, such as may be used in a
    business office. The plural form is either memoranda or memorandums, or memos
    for the short form.
•   A memorandum may have any format, or it may have a format specific to an office
    or institution. In law specifically, a memorandum is a record of the terms of a
    transaction or contract, such as a policy memo, memorandum of
    understanding, memorandum of agreement, or memorandum of association.
    Alternative formats include memos, briefing notes, reports, letters or binders.
    They could be one page long or many. If the user is a cabinet minister or a senior
    executive, the format might be rigidly defined and limited to one or two pages. If
    the user is a colleague, the format is usually much more flexible. At its most basic
    level, a memorandum can be a handwritten note to one's supervisor.
•   Dean Acheson famously quipped that "A memorandum is not written to inform
    the reader but to protect the writer". Charles Peters wrote that "bureaucrats write
    memoranda both because they appear to be busy when they are writing and
    because the memos, once written, immediately become proof that they were
    busy."

Re: Need for New Memo Format
I've noticed we don't seem to be able to communicate important
changes, requirements and progress reports throughout the company as
effectively as we should. I propose developing one consistent memo
format, recognizable by all staff as the official means of communicating company
directives.
While I know this seems like a simple solution, I believe it will cut down on
needless e-mail, improve universal communication and allow the staff to save
necessary information for later referral. Please talk among yourselves to determine
the proper points of memo writing and return the input to me by 12 noon. I will
then send out a notice to the entire staff regarding the new memo format.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this.
Fax
• A fax (short for facsimile sometimes called
  telecopying) is the telephonic transmission of scanned
  printed material(both text and images),most usually
  transmitted to a telephone number connected to a
  printer or other output device. The original document
  is scanned with a fax machine, which processes the
  contents (text or images) as a single fixed graphic
  image, converting it into a bitmap, the information is
  then transmitted as electrical signals through the
  telephone system. The receiving fax machine
  reconverts the coded image, printing a paper copy.

Email
• Electronic mail, commonly called email or e-mail, is a
  method of exchanging digital messages from an author
  to one or more recipients. Modern email operates
  across the Internet or other computer networks. Some
  early email systems required that the author and the
  recipient both be online at the same time, in common
  with instant messaging. Today's email systems are
  based on a store-and-forward model. Email servers
  accept, forward, deliver and store messages. Neither
  the users nor their computers are required to be online
  simultaneously; they need connect only
  briefly, typically to an email server, for as long as it
  takes to send or receive messages.
• An email message consists of three
  components, the message envelope, the
  message header, and the message body. The
  message header contains control
  information, including, minimally, an
  originator's email address and one or more
  recipient addresses. Usually descriptive
  information is also added, such as a subject
  header field and a message submission
  date/time stamp.
Cc and Bcc
• cc on the email means 'Carbon Copy' which means you want to
  send it to other people besides the primary email address to which
  you have sent the original message.
  When you use the 'cc' feature, EVERYONE to whom you send the
  message can see ALL of the addresses to which you have sent it.


  Bcc means BLIND CARBON COPY. It has the same benefit of being
  able to send a message to lots of people but the added bonus of
  keeping all of the email addresses hidden from everyone else.
Who writes Business Letters?

• Most people who have an occupation have to
  write business letters. Some write many
  letters each day and others only write a few
  letters over the course of a career. Business
  people also read letters on a daily basis.
  Letters are written from a
  person/group, known as the sender to a
  person/group, known in business as the
  recipient.
Here are some examples of senders
              and recipients:
•   business «» business
•   business «» consumer
•   job applicant «» company
•   citizen «» government official
•   employer «» employee
•   staff member «» staff member
Why write Business Letters?

• There are many reasons why you may need to
  write business letters or other
  correspondence:
•   to persuade         • to reject a proposal or
•   to inform             offer
•   to request          • to introduce a person or
•   to express thanks     policy
•   to remind           • to invite or welcome
•   to recommend        • to follow up
•   to apologize        • to formalize decisions
•   to congratulate

The overall style of letter will depend on the relationship between the parties concerned.

  • 7. Memo • A memorandum or memo is a document or other communication that helps the memory by recording events or observations on a topic, such as may be used in a business office. The plural form is either memoranda or memorandums, or memos for the short form. • A memorandum may have any format, or it may have a format specific to an office or institution. In law specifically, a memorandum is a record of the terms of a transaction or contract, such as a policy memo, memorandum of understanding, memorandum of agreement, or memorandum of association. Alternative formats include memos, briefing notes, reports, letters or binders. They could be one page long or many. If the user is a cabinet minister or a senior executive, the format might be rigidly defined and limited to one or two pages. If the user is a colleague, the format is usually much more flexible. At its most basic level, a memorandum can be a handwritten note to one's supervisor. • Dean Acheson famously quipped that "A memorandum is not written to inform the reader but to protect the writer". Charles Peters wrote that "bureaucrats write memoranda both because they appear to be busy when they are writing and because the memos, once written, immediately become proof that they were busy."
  • 8. To: Andy Andler, Benita Buchanan, Charles Chavez CC: Darcy Danko From: Heady the Head Honcho Date: June 1, 2006 Re: Need for New Memo Format I've noticed we don't seem to be able to communicate important changes, requirements and progress reports throughout the company as effectively as we should. I propose developing one consistent memo format, recognizable by all staff as the official means of communicating company directives. While I know this seems like a simple solution, I believe it will cut down on needless e-mail, improve universal communication and allow the staff to save necessary information for later referral. Please talk among yourselves to determine the proper points of memo writing and return the input to me by 12 noon. I will then send out a notice to the entire staff regarding the new memo format. Thank you for your prompt attention to this.
  • 9. Fax • A fax (short for facsimile sometimes called telecopying) is the telephonic transmission of scanned printed material(both text and images),most usually transmitted to a telephone number connected to a printer or other output device. The original document is scanned with a fax machine, which processes the contents (text or images) as a single fixed graphic image, converting it into a bitmap, the information is then transmitted as electrical signals through the telephone system. The receiving fax machine reconverts the coded image, printing a paper copy.
  • 11. Email • Electronic mail, commonly called email or e-mail, is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients. Modern email operates across the Internet or other computer networks. Some early email systems required that the author and the recipient both be online at the same time, in common with instant messaging. Today's email systems are based on a store-and-forward model. Email servers accept, forward, deliver and store messages. Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously; they need connect only briefly, typically to an email server, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.
  • 12. • An email message consists of three components, the message envelope, the message header, and the message body. The message header contains control information, including, minimally, an originator's email address and one or more recipient addresses. Usually descriptive information is also added, such as a subject header field and a message submission date/time stamp.
  • 13. Cc and Bcc • cc on the email means 'Carbon Copy' which means you want to send it to other people besides the primary email address to which you have sent the original message. When you use the 'cc' feature, EVERYONE to whom you send the message can see ALL of the addresses to which you have sent it. Bcc means BLIND CARBON COPY. It has the same benefit of being able to send a message to lots of people but the added bonus of keeping all of the email addresses hidden from everyone else.
