Writing Principles of Business Letters
A letter consists of a number of parts, each of which is essential to the letter, or contributes in some way to its impact on the recipient. We may list them as follows :
Section One
The Structure and Layout of a Business Letter
the letterhead/headingthe references the date the inside name and address the salutation        the subject heading/caption the opening paragraph the body of the letter      the closing paragraph the complimentary close the signature the enclosures and copiesthe postscript
Since letters are often elements in the formation of business contacts, it is essential to have the addresses of both parties included in every item of business correspondence. By having a printed letterhead a firm ensures that it includes all the necessary details about its own name, address, postcode (zip code), telephone number, fax numbers, e-mail account and homepage or website.
The Heading/Letterhead
A typical letterhead might read:
STONE AND SIMPSON LTD.24 Darby Street, Salisbury, WiltsTelephone:Fax:E-mail:Http:
The recommended order for dates is day, month, year, with open punctuation. Thus 20 November is perfectly clear and punctuation would not add anything. Month Date, Year November 20, Date Month, Year 20 November,
The Date
At the top of a letter, below the references and the date, the secretary types the “inside name and address”. This is the name and address of the person to whom the letter is to be sent : the addressee.A typical address could be :Mr. T. Williamson67 CamsideChurch StreetChestertonCAMBRIDGE 1 PQThe name and address is typed in exactly the same way as on the envelope, in single spacing, with the town typed in capital letters(大写). Each part of the address is written on a new line, including the postcode (zip code).
