What is the correct abbreviation of received?
I've sometimes used the abbreviation Rec'd. Yes, because an apostrophe indicates contraction: missing letter(s) -- in this case, the e, i, v, and last e. A writer would not want to use more than one apostrophe in a single word, hence: Recvd would logically be punctuated as: Rec'v'd -- requiring more than one apostrophe and more work than an abbrev. calls for! ;-) --Good question. Thanks for asking.
What is the meaning of 'zest' in terms of technical writing?

WRITING a formal letter can be difficult for some students but with the right guidance and some practice it can be made easy.
When writing a formal letter, you must pay attention to the format/layout of the letter. Besides, you must also keep it short and to the point.
Also, make sure your points or ideas are well-presented. Most importantly, pay attention to the tone and language. A formal letter must be polite.
There is no need to be rude even if you are expressing your unhappiness or dissatisfaction. Remember, you should not use informal language or contractions in a letter of this nature.
These days there are several formats available for writing formal letters but we will only look at the format which is used in Malaysian government departments and taught in the Malaysian school system.
Guidelines for Writing a Formal Letter
1.Your address
- Your address should appear on the
- left-hand corner.
A horizontal line across the page separates your address from the recipient’s address.
3.Address of the person to whom you are writing
- The recipient’s address should be
- below your address.
- The postcode and name of the town should be underlined.
Date
- The date is written on the right along the same line as the last line of the recipient’s address.
- The month should be spelt out (i.e. it should be in words, not numbers). It must be written in full (do not use abbreviations such as Sept) and in capital letters.
Salutation/Greeting
- If you know the name of the recipient, then do use his surname (Dear Mr Tan)
- If you do not know the name of the person to whom you are writing, then use Dear Sir or Madam
Subject heading
- The subject heading gives the reader an idea what the letter is about.
- Write the subject heading directly below the salutation and it should be underlined
The body of the letter
- The body of the letter refers to the contents of your letter.
- It should be divided into short and clear paragraphs.
- All paragraphs should be numbered except for the first and last paragraphs.
a.In the first paragraph, you should state the reason for writing (whether it is to inform,to complain, to invite etc).
b.From the second paragraph onwards, you should include information that is deemed necessary, depending on what you are writing about.
The number of paragraphs depends on what you are writing.
c.In the last paragraph, state what you expect from the recipient. This is usually in the form of an action or response. It is a common practice to end a formal letter with phrases such as Ilook forward to hearing from you or Ihope prompt action will be taken to solve this problem.
A note of thanks is usually included
- Remember to organise the information in a clear and logical manner.
- Also, do not write lengthy paragraphs.
Ending
- You can end the letter by writing “Yours faithfully”.
- In practice, we usually use “Yours
- sincerely”, if we know the recipient but for exam purposes I would advise you to use only “Yours faithfully”.
Signature
Do not forget to sign the letter and write your name below it in capital letters with in brackets.

How cool should a firebed be to allow closing the flue?
By flue, I believe you mean the damper in the chimney, which has the effect of closing off the flue. Close the damper any time you are not using the fireplace. Remember -heat rises -so heated air will also rise up and out the flue in the winter. In the summer it is also good to keep the flue closed because heat and humidity will activate the smelly properties of the ash and creosote in the firepalce chimney and create a bad odor in the home. In order for a damper to do its job it must seal tightly/ If your existing mechanical damper is broken, missing or in a bad state you can repair it or replace it with a chimney top damper or a chimney balloon. But, open the damper before lighting a a fire, or it will rapidly get quite smokey in the house.

typically it is suppose to just be the their last name ex- Mr. and Mrs. John smith or John and Jane smith (man always first.)
why man always first when we used to write "Ladies & Gentlmen" "Girls and Guys" "Ladies first".....? In my opinion it should be Mrs. and Mr. John Smith
First, the word 'dear' should be capitalized. Second, don't just leave it as 'Dear Mr." Make it, 'Dear Mr So-and-so.' If you don't know the name of the person to whom you are writing, 'To Whom It May Concern' is perfectly acceptable. I'll leave the punctuation up to you. Nowadays, many people don't even put a period after 'Mr' (myself included). Likewise, many people do not end the salutation with any punctuation at all. This is a judgment call that you'll have to make -- and be responsible for. Just take into consideration how formal your correspondence is supposed to be and act accordingly.
