When writing business letters keeping mind three important points:
• Business letters – an information vehicle – they serve one purpose
• Business letters cost money
• Business letters act as an official document
www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Training: Effective Business Letter Writing
There are four important points without which your message is not
going to be effective:
• Subject
• Audience
• Purpose
• Style
www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Training: Effective Business Letter Writing
SUBJECT:
• It could be anything that a particular situation calls for
• Stick to one subject only
• If you have two or more subjects, write another letter
www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Training: Effective Business Letter Writing
AUDIENCE:
• Your audience is always larger than you expect
• Do not assume that the reader knows what you are talking about
www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Training: Effective Business Letter Writing
PURPOSE:
• There is nothing worse than reading a letter with no purpose
• State the purpose of the message and keep it clear
www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Training: Effective Business Letter Writing
BASIC STYLE:
1ST PART of the body:
• State the purpose of the letter
2ND PART of the body:
• Sate your point. explain what you want to happen. Explain the
information you have
3RD PART of the body:
• Call for action or request some form of action. Thank the reader for his
or her response
www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Training: Effective Business Letter Writing
PART I of the body:
• Get straight to the point in the first sentence. it is a very short paragraph
PART II of the body:
• It is going to be the core – it clearly explains the piece of information you are
proving and what you want the reader to do
• You have a lot of information? Break it, make short paragraphs, list the
points, or include it as an attachment
www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Training: Effective Business Letter Writing
PART III of the body:
Is usually broken down into 3 sections:
• CONCLUDE THE MESSAGE. Draw all you key points into one statement
• CALL TO ACTION. Tell your reader what to do and when to do it – no call for
action means your reader will not act
• THANK THE READER. It is only appropriate that you thank your reader for
his time and attention
www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Training: Effective Business Letter Writing
Ways to organize your information
• From general to specific
• From specific to general
• From positive to negative
• From negative to positive
• Step by step
• From most important to least important
www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Training: Effective Business Letter Writing
Emphasizing the positive
Positive sentences are inviting and encourage people to read on. Negative sentences
can seem bossy and hostile.

hours a day

employees
Use:

lower case letter

and wrote herself.
www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Training: Effective Business Letter Writing
