Why do you put an attention line on an envelope?
The attention line is used in the address to specify a certain person or department that the envelope should go to. This helps avoid delays in a large organization.
Answer
The reason is that people will not want to read it and they might think it is boring. Like a charity letter wantsyou to sponsor a child. So it says things like they are in need and all that. So you would want to open the letter. So you want to sponsor the child.
That is why.

Should the name of the writer be at the end or beginning of a business letter?
If letterhead is used to write a business letter, the name of the sender does not belong at the beginning of the letter. If the letter is typed on plain paper, your return address is placed at the top of the letter. You may also type your name at the top of the return address but that is not standard. It is standard to place the name of the writer at the end of a business letter. Example business letter:
LETTERHEAD
or Return Address
of Sender
Date
Name of person addressed
Name of Company or Organization
Address of Company or Organization
City, State, Zip (or equivalent depending on country)
Dear Name,
First paragraph: one sentence or two, stating why you are writing.
Second paragraph: give the facts and information supporting your request or inquiry. This can actually be more than one paragraph or if several facts are necessary, use bullets. Don't use emotional language or go off the target of your objective..
Third paragraph: tell the addressee what you want them to do or what you want to happen (this is called the 'call to action paragraph'). State any dates that may be deadlines or that the information or action is required by. Give your address and contact phone number at the end to be sure it's easy for the addressee to find it. Always end a business letter by thanking the recipient for their time and effort.
Sincerely , Yours Truly, or Best Regards,

How to write a change of business ownership letter?
There are two types of letter to announce new ownership of a business.
A letter to suppliers and the business's financial associates.
Using a standard business letter format, the body of the letter will be more formal and concise:
- In the first paragraph, state the reason for writing, "We are writing to advise you of a change in the ownership of XYZ Company at 50 South North Street."
- In the second paragraph, provide the names and contact information for the people that suppliers/banks/etc. should contact to conduct business with the new ownership. Include any other information that may be required for these entities to continue doing business with the new ownership. If there are no internal changes within the operation of the business, say that.
- In the third paragraph, tell the suppliers/banks/etc. that you look forward to a continued association with these business. Thank them for their ongoing support.
A letter to the client/customer list or a general mailing list if the business (a local shop/store, service provider, etc.) does business with a community in general.
- In the first paragraph, state the reason for writing, "We are pleased to announce that XYZ Company at 50 South North Street is now under new ownership."
- Begin the second paragraph with something like, "We look forward to providing you/the community with (name products or services)." Give a positive statement on the new management's goal of providing the best possible products/services for "you". Include any other positive message that the management wishes to portray to their clients/community.
- Close by stating the you look forward to continuing to do business with/support the efforts of this business's valued clients/customers. The manner and content of these statements should be appropriate for the type of clients/customers that support this business.
What is the noun for Mrs Smith will loan whomever needs it money for lunch?
In the sentence "Mrs. Smith will loan whomever needs it money for lunch," there are three nouns: "Mrs. Smith," "money," and "lunch"; there are two pronouns: "whomever" and "it." The "whomever" should be changed slightly to "whoever," since "whoever" is the subject of the clause "whoever needs it." It is true, certainly, that "whoever needs it" functions as the object of the verb "will loan" and, thus, of the entire sentence; nevertheless the object case marker "-m" need not be added to the word "whoever." (This question perplexed me and my grammar-conscientious 8th-grade history teacher, but I've since figured it out.)
If that's not what the question was about, I'm not sure I understand it. If you want to collapse "whoever needs it" into one noun, I suppose you could look for one noun to do that, but it's not necessary.

Dear Name,
Your first paragraph should state why you are writing (what was the problem with…?)
The second paragraph should outline the facts of the problem. Avoid emotional language (no matter how upset you may be). Keep it simple and to the point. If you ramble on with too much information, it may be difficult for the recipient to understand the problem.
The third paragraph (known as the 'call to action' paragraph) will tell the company what you want them to do. Many people forget to spell out what they want and wonder why their complaint seems to be ignored. You also must provide your own contact information (mailing address, email address, phone number, etc.) to ensure that the company can follow up with you. Always end by thanking the company for their time and trouble. A positive end to a complaint letter is more likely to get a positive response.
Sincerely , Yours Truly, or Best Regards,

Use passive voice in business writing?
Not always. Whether communicating with internal staff, clients, business associates, suppliers, or the public in general, businesses and organizations often need a personal touch. Many types of business correspondence such as requesting bids, communicating facility issues, or specifying material quality and standards are the types of writing that use a passive voice; clearly presented terms and conditions. But when it comes to interaction with people, developing relationships, the passive voice is not appropriate.
