From my personal experience (and my formal training), all business correspondence should be worded in positive terminology, even bad news. Especially if you are writing an appeal (you need something from someone or someone to act on your behalf), you need to state your appeal clearly, give whatever supporting information necessary, and state what you expect the addressee to do in a way that the person will have what they need to respond and will be more likely to want to respond. If an appeal is handled in a positive manner, even if the response is 'no', you have left the recipient with a positive image of you should you need to communicate further.

No matter what type of appeal you are making, a negative position is always the weakest an least successful position. No matter how important the matter you are appealing or how much it means to you, emotions and emotional language have no place in the correspondence. Even if your appeal affects you strongly, that should be stated in a professional way. If you feel you have been wronged in some way or you are very angry about something, vent your frustration by telling your spouse or your best friend, it won't help you for an appeal. Keep the correspondence professional.

Can you please see an example of a negative business letter?

A negative business letter is any document which generates a one sided benefit at the expensive of the other party. An ideal business letter always proposes a win-win solution.Additional information:A negative business letter would be a letter using negative terminology or a business letter that delivers bad news.Negative terminology should never be used in business writing. Words like 'We're sorry', 'bad service', or the like should be avoided if possible. If they are necessary, they should start a statement with a positive ending, for example:We're sorry that your Acme X did not perform to your satisfaction, we value the feedback from our customers in our effort to produce the best possible Xs on the market.We are most grateful that you have brought your experience with customer service to our attention.These statements are followed by what CAN be done to satisfy a customer or resolve a difficult situation.When delivering bad news, be concise and to the point. Sometimes negative language can't be avoided, for example cancelling an account or an unpaid amount. Most likely, this news is not the first communication on the matter and should be stated as clearly and briefly as possible. If there are any remedies available for the recipient to mitigate the situation, the 'bad news' letter should end with that information.


Advantages and disadvantages of face to face?

there are many advantages and disadvantages to your question but there is an advantage and that is that you can see what a person looks like and the way someone dresses can show many things about them including their personality so you can see if you like the person right away instead of delaying over the phone and also if it is a blind date it is better to see the person and have a meeting before you even think about having conversations on the phone because other's taste may be different to yours and disadvantages may be that the person may want to kiss or make out and you may not be ready for that and the person may feel bad thinking you have bad breath or they may wan tot have sex and you also may not be ready for that and that would probably end the relationship for some people they may think the process is too slow and just end it so just follow what you think is right to the kind of person

Why does a negative multiplied by a negative equal a positive?

The answer to this is a little counterintuitive. positive X positive = positive negative X positive = negative positive X negative = negative negative X negative = positive Do you see the pattern? Two positives and two negatives will always be positive. Think of yourself standing on a number line. If you're a positive number you will be facing to the right. If you are multiplied by a positive number you will move to the right (positive). If you are negative number, you will be facing to the left, but when multiplied by a negative number you have to move backwards, which is now to the right--a positive number! Think of yourself as always facing right when a positive number and facing left when a negative number and then go forward or backward with the next number.

Is negative and negative positive or negative?

It depends on the arithmetic operation you are performing:---------------------------------In AdditionNegatives and negatives have a negative sum. The only way to obtain a positive sum is to have a larger positive value than negative value.(-1) + (-2) = (-3)----------------------------In subtractionSubtracting a negative number is the same as adding its negative value (which is positive).(-1) - (-3) = (-1) + 3 = 2-------------------------------In MultiplicationThe product of two negatives is a positive. The product of a negative and a positive is negative.(-1) x (-2) = 2(-3) x (4) = (-12)------------------------------In DivisionDividing a negative by a negative yields a positive number.Dividing a negative by a positive, or a positive by a negative, yields a negative number.(-4) / (-2) = 2(-4) / 2 = (-2)4 / (-2) = (-2)By re-multiplying from the results, you can see that this holds true.
