Business Writing

When writing to a female that you don't know, use the title Ms (or Ms.), a title invented just for the purpose of addressing a female when her marital status is irrelevant or unknown. The title 'Madam' (always capitalize a title when addressing someone) is still acceptable as well.

An expression of interest letter for a project is done to show the recipient of a person's desire to participate in a project. This letter may also outline why the project is deemed worthwhile to the writer and a request to be included in the project.

A business report is classified as an internal document and is used to help manage the business. It can show the income that was received per month and it can also show how employees are performing.

The format for business thank you notes follows the same format; single-spaced,with a letter head, date, recipient address, and salution. Or, there's nothing wrong with the personal touch and handwriting it on a note card if it is not a mass mailing. I don't know what your business is but something along the lines could be: Dear Preferred Customer: Thank you for your recent order and continued patronage. We want to congradulate you on your recent purchase of (product/service). We look forward to servicing your business with our quality products and excellent customer service staff. Sincerely, http://www.4hb.com/letters/index4.html OR, this is a link to a site with sample of more letters.

In the past, it was standard to place the attention line a space below the address of the recipient. However, with the wide use of automated postal sorting machines, placing something in that location can cause mis-sorted mail, delaying the delivery of the letter. A better format is:

Mr. A. Brown, Manager

Purchasing Department

ABC Compay

123 Main Street

Anycity, NY USA

OR

Manager (if you don't know the name)

Purchasing Department

ABC Company

123 Main Street

Anycity, NY USA

A full block style business letter is all justified against the left margin, including the your return address (if not using letterhead), the reference line, and your closing, signature, and printed name.

A modified block style business letter is justified against the left margin with the exception of including the your return address, the reference line, and your closing, signature, and printed name. These are tabbed about one third to the right of the page.

The date is first if you use letterhead. If you use plain paper, then your return address comes above the date.

You mean like "experts"?

No, experts is plural, meaning it doesn't need an apostraphe.

If you were saying something like:

"That's the 'expert's' glasses"

the word would be taking possesion, in that case, it would need and apostraphe.

Really? How many quarters are in anything?

A sample of inquiry letter should be used as a guide when drafting your letter of inquiry. This should be a formal letter that is precise and concise.

If the data comprises of charts, one way to analyzing is comparing the curves in the chart.

When signing a letter on behalf of someone, write the abbreviation p.p. in front of your signature. The absent persons name is then written on the next line down.

To ask a vendor for an extension on time to make a payment would be a pretty standard business letter. You would address it to the financial department and give them as much information as possible about when payment is due and when you expect to be able to make the payment. You should set a realistic time frame, when you are sure you will have the funds to pay.

Writing a Report

During your studies you may be required to research a particular area and produce a report. For

instance, depending on your area of study, you might be asked to write a report on the performance

characteristics of an aircraft engine, the classroom management practices of a teacher, the cost

benefits of using a particular type of software in a company, etc.

Some of the reasons we write reports are to:

• inform

• make proposals or recommendations for change

• analyse and solve problems

• present the findings of an investigation or project

• record progress

Your lecturer or teacher will usually provide you with the following information:

• the topic or subject of the report

• the required length and due date

• a clear idea of its purpose and who will read it

• the format headings to be used and their order.

Steps in writing the report

Writing your report is an ongoing process of writing and re-writing. Therefore, it's important to

realise that you don't need to begin at the introduction and write until you get to the conclusion.

Often the body is written first. Also, you're not expected to produce the perfect report the first time

you put pen to paper - expect to have to redraft your report.

A useful writing process for longer reports is to:

• organise your information

• write an outline

• write a first draft

• re-write to improve the draft

• edit and proofread

You'll also need to consider the presentation of the report, in particular:

• format and layout

• inclusion of graphics and visuals

The main difference between business letters is the reason they are written. Different letters are written to convey different messages or to ask for varied information such as availability of credit facilities or to ask if a product is in stock.
