Simplicity
Formal Expressions Reason for Objection
"Enclosed herewith pleasefindacheque tothe value ofRs 500".
Not standard English. A more personal way of putting the idea is
avoided need lessly.
"Please find"seemsaridiculous phrase. "Herewith" is
a pretentious legalism.
"Respectfully yours" False compliment, undulyservile.
" Iam inreceiptofyouresteemed favour".
Verbose ." I am in receipt of' is not correct English.
"Esteemed favour" is too stiff and may even suggest
ins incerity.
"We should ask you to be goodenough
to...."
Rambling and verbose. "Be good enough to" is a piece
ofempty formality.
Formal Expressions Reason for Objection
"We are endeavouring to produce. ...."
Pompous - the phrase suggests that its user
tends to exaggerate. Simple words reach the
intelligence and feelings more surely and
natur a lly.
“ I regret to inform you that....."
A convenient phrase, but sounds rather
formal. Apologies, to be effective must be as
personal as possible.
"We shall notify you in due course as to
the date of dispatch...."
Verbose. " As to" is a phrase that commonly
leaves the meaning vague. The s a me ·
objection may be made to 'concerning', '
regarding' , ' respecting", and ' with regard to'.
The mostdirectword to use is ' about'.
"We shall beglad if you...."
Unnecessary circumlocution. Some
correspondents feel that is impolite or
offensive to come to the point too quickly but
most feel comfortable with such an approach.
Suggested Alternateves
"I enclose a cheque for Rs 500”.
"Yoursfaithfully”.
"Thank you for your letter " .
"Weare trying to obtain...". (or 'to get').
"I am sorry o tell you that.…”
" We shall let you know when the goods will be sent... “
Courtesy
Politeness costs nothing.
One should try to be courteous in all of one's dealings.
A courteous business man says " Please" , when he wants a favour, " Thank you", when he
receives a favour, "I am sorry", when he feels that he has hurt someone's feelings
Without intention or when he is unable to do a favour and observes the
In a business context, courteous letters relating to shortage or non delivery are more likely
to receive immediate attention than ones that accuse the sender of deliberate negligence.

Bitter words to avoided

Consideration
Every responsible•writer should try his/ her best to dispense with the "I
and WE ATTITUDE' .
Reader feels it as promoting his benefit.
Never impose point of viewor ideas uponthereader.
Try toconvincethe reader inanappealingand tactful way.

Conversational Style
follows thesoundest principles of communication that demand a letter
Like fact -to-face talking
To be interactive
All speaking is interactive.
Since the reader is physically absent in a letter, one has to anticipate
what the reader will say or feel and write accordingly.
In this respect there is not much difference _between a personal letter
and an effective formal letter.
Let us see the difference between old, stiff style specimens and their
conversational versions:
Stiff Conversational
Please be advised that you should submit the form
before 30th June. You should submit the formbefore30thJune
This is to advise that we deem it a great pleasure to
approve to the subject of your request as per your

Stiff Conversational

Kindly advise/inform at an early convenient date .
Please let me know soon
Pursuant to this matter, I wish to state thatthe
aforementionedprovisionsare unmistakably clear.
The contract provisions are clear o_n this point.
Clarity of Goal
Every effective letter is written with a clear goal in mind.
The goal is not clear ,letter will reflect the confusion.
Every letter is a reflection ofthewriter'smind.
He/she should be clear in giving information.
Allthe factsand figures must bestated in thesimplestpossiblelanguage.

ahd at some time in the future we may consider change. I am filing your letter, but at this
moment cannot be any more positive.
Thank you for the interest in Sigma Technology.
Persuasion
Persuasionis the mainfunctionof manycommunications ,bothformal and
informal.
It is most evident in effective business letters.
Involvesskillful useof wordsto impresssomethingon someone else.
Sincerity
Sincerity means that our readers must believe what we say.
must be convinced that we mean what we say.
sincerity in letter writing isan impression that we create out of a play of words.
it is important that we do not sound insincere or hypocritical t rough words of
questionable value.
Words of exaggeration like 'extraordinary', 'sensational', 'revolutionary', 'greatest',
'amazing', etc must be avoided in letters.
Letter should address the intelligence, apprehension or anxieties of the reader in a
direct, yet, pleasant way.
Positive Language
The use of positive language becomes all the more important in a formal or bus
Positive words stir up positive feelings.
Weshould find positive substitutes for them.
Due Emphasis
The first and last sentences of a letter and paragraph and the first and last words
The reader's attention is focused most on these points.
Points/words are understood and retained better in the reader's mind.
More important points should given more space in the body of the letter.
Emphasis by sentence structure, comes in a different way.
Care of Culture
The question of culture and communication has become important.
It is very well possible that one of the first official letters you will have
to draft is to a foreigner whom you have never met and whose culture
you know nothingabout.
First build a rough knowledge.
It is best to write letters in simple.
General service list words that are universally understood and accetable.
Ethical Standard
Ethicsis aboutmorality-the faculty inside you that helpsyou
distinguish between right andwrong.
Business correspondenceshould uphold a certain ethical standard.
It is said that there are no ethical considerations in business.
Be clear about legitimate goalsand useourbestthinking in

Apologies, to be effective must be as personal as possible. "We shall notify you in due course as to the date of dispatch...." Verbose. " As to" is a phrase that commonly leaves the meaning vague. The s a me · objection may be made to 'concerning', ' regarding' , ' respecting", and ' with regard to'. The mostdirectword to use is ' about'. "We shall beglad if you...." Unnecessary circumlocution. Some correspondents feel that is impolite or offensive to come to the point too quickly but most feel comfortable with such an approach.

  7. When a group meets for long periods from its regular routines, members tend to forget the real world and do what is necessary for the group to succeed, irrespective of how their decisions or actions may harm others. Informal and unstandardised decision-making procedures lead the group into unproductive areas with no way to get back on tracks. When the group members feel that the leader thrusts decision-making procedures upon them, they are likely to follow without much advocacy or dissention. When faced with a critical situation, a short time to make decision, and no reasonable alternative other than that which is proposed and favored by the leader, the group is forced to groupthink.
  8. Conflict- ಸಂಘರ್ಷ, ವಿರೋಧಿಸು, ಒಪ್ಪದಿರು We tend to think ofconflict in its negative sense, but overlook the positive side of it. Conflict does not mean that a meeting is disorderly, wild or rude. It is a sign that people are actively participating in a discussion.

Tendency to avoid argumentative situations: add scores on spaces 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 19.

Often true, place 4 in the blank space. Almost always true, place 5 in the blank space. 2. Note B: Add your scores on numbers 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 20. Call this “Total A”. Add your scores on numbers 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 16, 18 and 19. Call this “Total B”. Subtract Total B from Total A.

Thus , content goals involve the obvious reasons for a dispute, but differing perspectives unknown to the other party. Each party understands its goals but has few ideas about the goals of its conflicting partner. Failure to communicate differing goals usually leads to conflict. 2. Sharing those expectations can help parties in conflict to work out the differences by clarifying expectations and perceptions of the relationship. Relational goals “define each party’s importance to the other, the emotional distance they wish to maintain, the influence each is willing to grant the other, the degree to which the parties are seen as a unit, or the rights each party is willing to grant to the other” Make sure that good relationships are the first priority Keep people and problems separate Pay attention to the interests that are being presented Listen first; talk second Explore options together
  14. use language that the other party can understand
  15. An important consideration in any conflict management is that the goals of communicators can change during the course of a conflict. If the goals of the conflict appear to be changing, you should be prepared to respond with an alternative conflict style. Situational factors are elements in a conflict that affect the nature of conflict and the styles you select to deal with them. For example, the physical environment (where the conflict takes place, such as private oflice, in the cafeteria or in a meeting) will affect how you communicate during a conflict. In conflict situation be aware of your strengths and weaknesses, i.e. your communication competence. Competencies include argumentation skills, control of verbal aggressiveness, listening skills, and verbal and nonverbal skills. Conflict can be a major cause of anxiety in the workplace.

And it's frighteningly easy to forget that your correspondent is a person with feelings more or less like your own..
  21. In real life,, most people are fairly law - abiding In cyberspace,, the chances of getting caught sometimes seem slim.. because people sometimes forget that there's a human being on the other side of the computer,, some people think that a lower standard of ethics or personal behavior is acceptable in cyberspace..
  22. because Netiquette is different in different places,, it's important to know where you are.. When you enter a domain of cyberspace that's new to you,, take a look around.. Spend a while listening to the chat or reading the archives.. Get a sense of how the people who are already there act . Then go ahead and participate..
  23. It's a cliché that people today seem to have less time than ever before,, When you send email or post to a discussion group,, you're taking up other people's time.. It's your responsibility to ensure that the time they spend reading your posting isn't wasted..

  28. Some people in cyberspace have more power than others.. There are wizards,, experts in every office,, and system administrators in every system..

  42. There is no essential difference between the language of a formal letter and that of a personal letter. Formal letters that are polite and with a personal touch prove more effective than those written in the stiff, detached style generally associated with formal correspondence. Given below are .some unnecessarily formal statements along with reasons for objection followed by suggested alternatives
  43. Every letter must be based on a courteous style whatever might be the occasion. Even a personal letter or a warning notice for payments should be written in such a courteous manner. because excessive servility will definitely lower the writer and his enterprise in the estimation of the reader and will defeat the very purpose of the letter.

  47. The consideration of the interests, wants and desires of the reader (called the "YOU ATTITUDE" in America) is regarded an essential principle of · a good piece of correspondence. Every responsible •writer should try his/ her best to dispense with the "I and WE ATTITUDE' . The style of a formal letter should be such that the reader feels it as promoting his benefit. The writer should never impose his point of view or ideas upon the reader, but should try to convince the reader in an appealing and tactful way.
  48. 2. This set definitely makes better reading, right?
  49. You must have felt by now that modem correspondence prefers to use friendly and conversational style in preference to the stilte dull, stiff and standoffish style of correspondence that was in fashion till about half a century ago. It follows the soundest principles of communication that demand a letter, like fact -to-face talking, to be interactive. All writing, like all speaking is interactive. In other words, it is a kind of dialogue with the reader. However , because the reader is physically absent in a letter, one has to anticipate what the reader will say or feel and write accordingly
  50. Persuasion is the main function of many communications both formal and informal, but specially of business communication. Understandably, it is most evident in effective business letters. Persuasive letters are written in a variety of circumstances and for a variety of reasons but each case involves skillful use of words to impress something on someone else. Just as the selling of a product or a service involves persuasion so does the 'selling' of an idea or point of view or even oneself.
  51. That makes the reader feel secure and that you are sincere in what you say.
  52. A wise communicator tries, as far as possible, to use positive language. The primary aim in each is to build up the best of human relations and to profit mutually from it. That is why it is advisable to use negative words like 'failure', 'refuse', 'sorry', ' no' , 'do not', 'mistake', 'loss', 'damage', etc. unless the context makes it absolutely necessa ry.
  53. An effective letter emphasizes or highlights all important points by carefully positioning them in sentences and paragraphs and supporting them with additional lines, figures'or other references. Thus one important point may be given one full paragraph while minor points may be given a line or two. Short and simple sentences are found to be more emphatic than long ques. Short and simple sentences are sentences of assertion of affirmation while long, complex are sentences of condition, concession, contrast, comparison, exemplification etc.
  54. The question of culture and communication has become important today because as the world shrinks in a global village people are interacting with each other much more than they have ever done before. We should avoid using culturally specific words, slang, colloquialisms and as far as possible, even idioms and phrases.
  55. It is reflected in every letter, depending on the genuineness of our feeling, our concern for the receiver, our image or our organisation and the legitimacy of our goal.
  56. Apart from problems of formal styles, most of you must be troubled by the common mistakes that you Commit as a part of your day to day writing , specially while writing letters.There are several reasons responsible for this. One of the most common is called the translational fallacy.‘Most of us think in Hindi and write in English. That leads to ,errors that for most of the time go unnoticed and hence uncorrected. The other is an inadequate understanding of grammatical rules. It is with ‘these ideas in mind that the following sections have been written. Though other rules of grammar are occasionally broken; more than 90 per cent un grammatical expressions in ordinary composition can be pre‘iv'ented by am l thorough knowledge of the following rules.
  57. Pronoun use of the kind pointed to above are governed more by conventions rather than any explicit rules. It would be advisable for you to be conscious of these usages rather than look for. an explanation in complex grammatical formulations.
  58. The modern tendency is to use few punctuation marks. In general, the art of punctuation is designed to make reading matter clearer and easier. The rules of punctuation are not arbitrary, but are based on common sense. The following table can serve as your guide to punctuation :
  59. Explain why punctuations are used in general.….own words
  60. 1. A comma is used to separate the items from one another, except that it is not required at the end of the lines, where the arrangement (display) makes its use unnecessary. Examples: " Mrs." " Messe rs" " M/s" , " S mt." " Esq ." (for Esquire) . 1. Write "June 4", not "June, 4". This does not affect the general rule about a full-stop following an abbreviation. Write " Dec. 25", not " Dec., 25.” Write "June 5, 2003, not "June 5th, 200 3".
  61. 1. The rule that if the comma is used after the mo nth, a full stop must be used after the year, is being dispensed wit h, although the inclusion of the full-stop would not be regarded a incorrect.
