Name five parts of a business letter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You first put your own name and address in the top right hand corner (if you are not using letterhead or pre-printed stationery), then leave a space blank and put the date:

-

All business letters follow the same format:

-

date

name & title of addressee

company or organization name

address of company or organization

city, state zip

Dear addressee,

First paragraph: State why you are writing. That is all, one or two sentences will do.

Second paragraph: State your supporting information for the above. Keep it to the point. If you have more than two or three pieces of information, use bullets. You can occasionally use two paragraphs here if you have a more lengthy explanation. This is all you need for the body of the letter.

Third paragraph: Tell the addressee how you want them to respond or what you want to do. It's call the "call to action" sentence and one clear sentence will do. For next (and) last sentence, give your contact information; your phone number, e-mail address, or mailing address, whichever is appropriate. This contact information should be the last line of your letter so that it will be easy for the addressee to see.

Close with "Thank you" or "Sincerely",

Print or type your name and sign above it.

On the whole I am a charming person, but I am not as successful as I should have been by this stage of my life. That is because while I am on the one hand intelligent, well-informed, and a good editor, on the other hand I am socially dysfunctional and have been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome.

How do you write an expression of interest for employment in a specific position in private?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An EOI is a covering letter introducing yourself, saying why you would like to do the job. No specific format is required. The selection panel will not be expecting anything too long, it is just literally expressing interest in the job and is more personal than a Resume.

The letter should provide only a few highlights from your resume that are specifically suited to the position. The resume should be attached and it's not necessary to repeat much from it. The purpose of the letter of interest is to give the employer a reason to contact you for an appointment for an interview. At the interview you can expand on your training and experience and how it suits the position.

It is also a good idea to research the position on offer, particularly for Government positions, and read any relevant policies and guidelines. A candidate who can write or speak knowledgeably about the company or organization will have an advantage over those who have not done their homework.

How do you respond to an employment inquiry letter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many times employers will send employment inquiry letters to an applicant's former or current employers. If you are a business owner, manager, or supervisor and receive such a letter, you can provide as much or as little information as you wish, usually depending upon your organization's policy. Some companies will only verify information, but will not offer any new information about employees.

What are the Parts of technical report?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NCR3 Automotive Parts Cleaning Project: Technical Report

Implementation of washwater filtration system at D&W Diesel*

Old Process

Parts were cleaned in a high-pressure aqueous cabinet washer. Immediately after the cabinet

washer was charged with fresh cleaning solution, cleaning cycle times were approximately ten

minutes. After one week, cleaning cycle times were increased to fifteen minutes to obtain the

same degree of cleanliness. A cleaning bath lasted four weeks before it had to be disposed of.

New Process

Washwater is filtered and cleaned in a washwater filtration system once a week. This ensures

that the high-pressure aqueous cabinet washer operates with continuously clean solution and that

the cleaning cycle remains ten minutes long throughout the year. The cleaning bath lasts

three months at current production levels before it must be disposed of.

Savings

- Longer bath lives save on soap costs, water costs, and waste disposal fees

- Shorter cycle times lead to decreased labor costs

- Shorter cycle times also result in reduced natural gas consumption (79,000 cubic feet per -

year) and reduced electrical consumption (12,600 KWH/year), as cleaning equipment cycle

times are reduced by 5 minutes

- Additional expenses of operating the washwater filtration system (power, coagulant, filter

paper, testing) are more than offset by the savings obtained in waste disposal costs, shorter

cycle times, soap and water usage, and labor.

The Bottom Line

The installed cost of the equipment is $7,200. Annual savings in labor, chemicals, waste

disposal, water, and energy total $5,300. Therefore, the system will pay for itself in about

sixteen months.

How do you write letter of intent for business partnership?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A letter of intent is a document that precedes a written contract or agreement. Letters of intent are not required before the delineation of a business deal, but sometimes they can be helpful in setting down the terms a business deal with encompass.

A letter of intent is typically written when two parties are considering doing business together. Sometimes one party writes the letter of intent, while sometimes both parties write their own. It is a way for potential business partners to become accustomed to how they might potentially work together, and to ascertain the desires of both parties.

Generally a letter of intent should include the following:

Letter of Intent Component #1: Binding

The letter of intent should state whether or not it is binding; meaning: do both parties agree to be held accountable for the contents of the letter of intent? If so, then the letter of intent becomes the precursor to the actual agreement, and nothing in the contract can contradict the language in the letter of intent.

Letter of Intent Component #2: Basic Scope of Business Partnership

The first paragraph of a letter of intent should describe the basic scope of the partnership: type of business, length of contract, basic terms, etc. It doesn't need to specifically detail every aspect of the business, but it should give the big picture for the association.

Letter of Intent Component #3: Predetermined Decisions

Next, the letter of intent should state the terms and conditions to which both partners have already agreed. For example, if you know that the profits from the business venture will be split 50-50, that should be included in this section of the letter of intent.

Letter of Intent Component #4: Desired Terms

The party writing the letter should then describe the ideal partnership agreement from his or her perspective. This is not something to which you have already agreed, but something that will undergo negotiation later. Feel free to be as selfish as you want during this section because you most likely will not get everything that you want.

Letter of Intent Component #5: Disagreements

If you and your prospective business partner have already disagreed over a potential issue, state it here. Explain that you have not agreed upon the exact terms of this issue, but that it is currently on the table.

Letter of Intent Component #6: Method of Resolution

How will you and your business partner(s) reach resolution on the issue that have not yet been decided? Detail a date and time for resolution, and explain what will happen if resolution cannot be reached.

Letter of Intent Component #7: Statement of Intent

The final section of your letter of intent should give your statement of intent. Reiterate your desire for a business relationship, and explain what needs to be done in order to solidify the agreement.

Is ladies and gentlemen a good salutation for an e mail?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The aforementioned salutation is very appropriate, and with respect to the previous, answers not "Cheesy" at all for a letter. While I realize we live in a very egalitarian and republican society that should not serve as an excuse for not treating other with respect. Similar to saying Ma'am or Sir, the use of Ladies and Gentlemen, mere shows the writer has mastery of the English language and is willing to give other the respect most feel they deserve. If some one is offended by the use of this salutation, my response would be, "it is what my grandmother would expect," and leave it at that. Words have meaning and the best way to start off a letter or conversation, it to use words that show both respect and courtesy.

Your humble servant,

A Southern Gentleman

What does a slash mean before a name signature in emails?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is intended to suggest a signature as opposed to just the typed name. I suspect this practice derives from similar signifiers used in typewritten copies of legal documents. It also seems likely that it is related to the practice of using slashes to represent /italics/. The parallel with closing HTML tags () may also have helped to cement this practice as it is used at the end of an email. This seems like a more tenuous connection but it does account for the loss of the slash after the name. Another explanation for that could be that the email style is a blend of two common typewritten styles (see below). Email version: /John Doe Typewriter versions: s/John Doe /John Doe/

How do you write a letter of intent to rent a stall?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first paragraph of any business letter states the purpose of the business letter, for example:

"I'm writing to request a stall rental. The stall should be adequate for... (state the use of the stall)."

The second paragraph should give the specifics of your needs, for example:

"I will need to rent this space for a period of... (state time period beginning and ending). Please provide me with a rate schedule for a stall of the appropriate size and... (include what amenities and/or associated facilities are needed)."

The third paragraph of any business letter is known as 'the call to action paragraph', in other word, tell the recipient what you expect them to do in response to your letter, for example:

"Please send this information to me at the address above (and/or give email address) at your earliest convenience as I will need the stall by (date needed). If you have any questions or require further information you can contact me at (give phone number and/or email address). Thank you for your prompt attention to my request."

"Sincerely,"
