Business Letter Writing

Millions of us write letters as part of our work but few of us know the keys to an effective business letter. Too many business letters are impersonal, longwinded and difficult or tedious to read.

Most writers hide behind tired phrases and an over-formal approach when writing business letters.

When you write a letter you create an image of you and your company in your reader's mind. A good letter should be effortless reading that makes you want to read more. It should be clear and concise, with short sentences and simple words. It should keep to the facts and be easy to read and to understand.
