A business letter should be concise and to the point. It should clearly state why you are writing, clearly present information related to the matter of the letter, and state what (if anything) you want the recipient to do in response to the letter. Idioms and cliches can obscure the point of a business letter and sarcasm can put the recipient in a negative frame of mind.

The first paragraph of a business letter should state why you are writing. The middle paragraph of a business letter should state the facts or information supporting that purpose. The information should be presented in a logical order, avoiding anything that is not directed at accomplishing the goal of the letter. A letter of complaint should avoid accusations and threats. A cover letter for a resume need only highlight a few pertinent facts, your attached resume will tell the rest. The last paragraph should provide the information necessary for the recipient to act on your inquiry or request; any relevant dates, your contact information, etc. If the letter is providing information only, your need only to thank the recipient for their time and attention. All business letters should end with a thank you for the recipient's time and effort.
You should avoid slang and informal tone.
