We would like to seek your assistance in providing us with technical support in so far as the existing environment and recycling laws are concerned so as to align them with our Green Concept advocacy.

- #13 A personal letter is written to a friend or family member. A business letter is written to an organization or a company. Business letters should be brief and to the point. They have a proper format which we will discuss. A guideline is three paragraphs, including an introductory paragraph that explains who you are and why you are writing. A main paragraph that includes what you would like the person to whom you are writing to do A final paragraph thanking the addressee for listening
- #14 A personal letter is written to a friend or family member. A business letter is written to an organization or a company. Business letters should be brief and to the point. They have a proper format which we will discuss. A guideline is three paragraphs, including an introductory paragraph that explains who you are and why you are writing. A main paragraph that includes what you would like the person to whom you are writing to do A final paragraph thanking the addressee for listening
- #15 Personal Business Letters are the ones you would most often write. Formal Business Letters are written on Letterhead, such as NorthenHighlands letterhead. Some folks create their own letterhead. We will learn how to do that in a future lesson. IN the mean time we will concentrate on creating Personal Business Letters, which mean you will put your return address in the heading
- #19 All parts of the letter are required except for Enclosure and Typist Initials. These are only used under specific conditions Click on the hyperlink to show one sample
- #21 There are exact spacing rules for each part of the business letter. The date is always placed in the heading. Your return address (and other optional parts) is mandatory in a Personal Business Letter (not on LetterHead)
- #23 The inside address is required. Try to find the exact name and title of the person to whom you are writing. If you cannot, you might try something like Customer Relations Department Manager.
- #26 It is best if you know the person’s name and title to write Dear “that”. If you do not know the person’s name, use one of the last two choices.
- #28 The letter should be brief and to the point. Ideally, it is no longer than one page. There should not be any unnecessary information in it, but it should contain all important facts. It should succinctly describe your reason for writing the letter, and what you expect the result of your letter to be.
- #31 These are samples of acceptable closing statements. Always allow four spaces after your close, so you can sign the printed letter in ink
- #33 If you are writing in a specific capacity (e.g. Secretary of Freshman Class), use your title. If not, skip the title line. Put your Title (Miss, Ms, Mr) in the signature, so the person replying knows how to address you.
- #34 If there is anything else in the letter or package use Enclosure. If you type this for someone else, or your secretary typed it for you (e.g. Mr. Keenan’s secretary types letters for his signature) the Typists initials should be the last thing on the page
- #36 Block is easiest. There is no indenting. Set your paragraphs to Left Justified, and don’t tab anything. Modified Block – set paragraphs to left justified, and set tabs at .5 and 3.5 Tab to 3.5 for all lines in the Heading, Complimentary Close, and Signature Choose: Either tab all paragraphs to .5, or no paragraphs to .5 (BE CONSISTENT)
