Dear Mr. Doe:

I am writing you concerning a recent purchase of widgets. Approximately two weeks ago, on

October 1, I ordered a total of 50 widgets for Company, Inc. via the Widgets Galore client

webpage. I received an email notification two days later confirming the receipt of payment and

the shipment of the widgets. According to your website, shipments should reach their destination

within 3-5 business days of being sent, but I have yet to receive the widgets. Do you have any

information on what may have happened to delay the shipment or where the shipment is

currently?

I have worked with Widgets Galore, Inc. in the past and have the greatest confidence in your

products and customer service. We need the shipment of widgets soon, however, and I hoped

you might be able to provide me with an idea of when I can expect them. Thank you in advance

for any help you might be able to offer.

Sincerely,

Leroy Jenkins

Dear Pepper,

Working with Creativity Plus, Inc. for the past four months has been a wonderful experience.

Regrettably, Company, Inc. no longer has need of your services. We have decided to move our

company in a different direction, and that decision requires that we make a number of changes to

our infrastructure. To that end, we have decided to keep all of our current marketing efforts in-

house, so we can no longer make use of your marketing consultation services.

Thank you for the excellent work you have done for us. I hope to remain on good terms with you

and Creativity Plus, Inc., and if we require services similar to what you have provided for us in

the past, we would certainly like to consider you again. Attached you will find the final check

for your services.

Warm regards,

Dear Ms. Jones:

Ah, business letter format-there are block formats, and indented formats, and modified block

formats . . . and who knows what others. To simplify matters, we're demonstrating the block

format on this page, one of the two most common formats. For authoritative advice about all the

variations, we highly recommend The Gregg Reference Manual, 9th ed. (New York: McGraw-

Hill, 2001), a great reference tool for workplace communications. There seems to be no

consensus about such fine points as whether to skip a line after your return address and before

the date: some guidelines suggest that you do; others do not. Let's hope that your business letter

succeeds no matter which choice you make!

When you use the block form to write a business letter, all the information is typed flush left,

with one-inch margins all around. First provide your own address, then skip a line and provide

the date, then skip one more line and provide the inside address of the party to whom the letter is

addressed. If you are using letterhead that already provides your address, do not retype that

information; just begin with the date. For formal letters, avoid abbreviations where possible.

Sincerely,

Peter Parker (not typing letter)

Dear Sir

I am interested in working as Director of Studies for your organisation. I am an EFL language instructor

with nearly 10 years' experience to offer you. I enclose my resume as a first step in exploring the

possibilities of employment with Interplay Languages.

addition, I developed the first draft of the teacher's handbook.

As Director of Studies with your organisation, I would bring a focus on quality and effectiveness to your

syllabus design. Furthermore, I work well with others, and I am experienced in course planning.

I would appreciate your keeping this enquiry confidential. I will call you in a few days to arrange an

interview at a time convenient to you. Thank you for your consideration.

Mr. Henley Reeves

President and CEO

BioDynamics Llc.

New York, NY 10034

Dear Mr. Reeves:

As Chairperson of the Corporate Conscience Campaign - Helping the Homeless in New York, I

am writing this to thank you personally for your company's support in last month's fund-raising

effort.

As I indicated when we spoke on the phone two weeks ago, the campaign was considered a

resounding success, raising a total of $1.65 million to-date, significantly exceeding our target of

$1 million. Some donations are still trickling in, so we could end up close to a total of $2 million.

BioDynamics was an influential leader throughout the entire three-month campaign. In fact, we

couldn't have succeeded without the generous support of your company, both financially, and

through your organizational and administrative assistance. Your Team Leader, Kathryn Gomez

was particularly impressive, going above and beyond what we could have expected of someone

performing as a volunteer while continuing on with her day-to-day duties. Please convey my

special thanks to Kathryn.

I would also ask you to convey my sincere thanks and congratulations to all of those other people

in your company who contributed in any way to the Helping the Homeless Campaign. Please tell

them that the sum of their contributions resulted in a major success that they should all be proud of

taking part in.

I believe that the 27 companies that participated in this effort have set a new standard for social

responsibility in this community, and have set a powerful example that will inspire other

companies and organizations to do the same.

I look forward to seeing you at the Mayor's special thank you reception next month.

Yours sincerely,

Daniel J. Atlas

Mrs. Beverly Crusher

Dear Mrs. Crusher:

I was deeply saddened to learn of Frank's death and I would like to express my sincere sympathy to you and your

family on behalf of the senior management team here at Interconnect Corp. Your husband was highly respected by

managers and employees alike throughout the entire company. He was regarded as a visionary leader by anyone

who ever worked with him.

Frank's contributions to this company during his 27 years of dedicated and selfless service were many and varied. In

the early years he was a major part of our initial expansion overseas, and a number of the offices he set up in Europe

are still operating very successfully. In recent years Frank was a key player in our transformation to full digital

technology, a move which catapulted us into a leadership position in the industry. Believe me, his contributions to

this company will not be forgotten.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences at this difficult time and I ask you to please pass these sentiments on to your

children. Your husband was a remarkable man in many ways. Knowing him personally as I did for many years, I am

well aware of the difference he made in the lives of many people, both here in the company, and in his private life.

He will be missed by many.

With sincere sympathy,

Jean Luc Picard
