Styles in Business Letter



BUSINESS LETTER STYLES

Six letter styles have been established for use in business offices. The two most commonly used of these are the block and semi block styles.
1.      Full block
All lines of typing begin on the left hand margin. There are no paragraph indentions. Letters that are typed in the full block style are always single spaced

Dear Sir,



This style is widely used across the globe. This style does not use any indent at all. Every single line is typed from the left-hand side. Since this style demands less number of keystrokes, this style increases the speed of the typist.

Even for computer typing, this style is more convenient. Note that this style does not use comma after every line in the address. This is also reducing the number keystrokes required. But the proper punctuations are added properly.


Yours faithfully,



M.N. Ashok Nathan
Assistant Manager
Production
2.      Block
All lines of typing begin on the left hand margin except the date, the complementary close, and the signature line.

Dear Miss Nancy,



This style is similar to the fully-blocked style. It differs in the positioning of few items. The date is typed on the right-hand side of the page rather than the left-hand side of the page as followed in the fully-blocked style. The subject of the letter and the signature and the name and the designation of the sender are centered.


These modifications give the letter a balanced appearance. However this is not the only way to modify the fully-blocked style. You may want to place other items in different places.


Yours Sincerely,


John McDonald

Marketing Executive





3.      Semi block
The first line of each paragraph is indented. Otherwise, the semi block style is exactly like the block style.

Dear Mr. Gan,


RE : Order for CD Player


            We received your order for 6 sets of the HIVOLTAGE Portable CD Player Model 231 GX. We regret to inform you that the model is at present out of stock as demand has far outstripped supply. Our supplier in Japan has informed us that it will take another 6 months before they can send a new shipment.


            However, may we offer an alternative item that seems to have the potential of being a best-seller as well. This is the TRUSOUND Portable CD Machine Model ZXS 10. This retail for Rs. 349.99 and is the latest on the portable CD range. Terms are as usual.


            Thank you.


                                                                          Yours sincerely,

                                                                          Mary Lim
                                                                          Sales Manager


4.      AMS Simplified letter
All typing in the Administrative Management Society Simplified Letter begins on the left margin, as in the full block style. This form omits the salutation and the complimentary close.

SIMPLIFIED STYLE


This is another modification of the fully-blocked style. This style is used when you write a letter and you do not know the name and title of the person to whom you are writing the letter. The salutation and the complimentary closing are not used in this style. The subject is mentioned in capital fonts and that subject need not be underlined.

Today around all the business houses, this style is widely used when the writer of the letters does not want to give importance to formality. Since the formality is not adopted here, this style goes to the heart of the addressee. This style gives more importance only to the core matter of the letter.

5.      Hanging Indented (Inverted)
The hanging indented style is identical the semi block format except that the first line of each paragraph is typed flush with the left margin and all lines following are indented five spaces. This style is usually seen only in advertising letter, where it’s unique paragraphing catches the eye.

HANGING INDENTED STYLE



6.      Official (Formal or Personal)
The official letter style is usually prepared in either the block or the semi block format. The inside address, however, is located two to five lines below the typed signature line, not at the top of the page. The official letter is used only when writing to highly placed official or to extend congratulation, appreciation, or sympathy.

KINDS OF BUSINESS LETTER

This is a sample Recommendation Letter given by a University Professor in support of his student.



19th June 2007

FROM :

Wong Teck Seng, Dr,
Department of Geology,
Universiti Malaya 5,
9200 Kuala Lumpur.

TO :

The Recruiting Officer,
Petrotech SDN BHD,
3020 Japan Raja Darat,
59900 Kuala Lumpur.


Abdul Ahab was one of my honors students last year. He graduated with a First Class Upper Honors Degree early this year.


As a student he was diligent and always showed keen interest in his studies. He helped me finish a very detailed study of a number of limestone formations in the Kinta Valley, Perak. I can say when it comes to doing meticulous work for long hours under less than comfortable conditions, Abdul Ahab rates as one of the best I have known. He is not one to give up when things get rough. He can be relied upon to complete difficult tasks that a normal person would shun.


I recommend him high enough if your company requires a genuinely capable man to do field research and related work. He would be an asset to any company. Give him a challenge and he literally thrives in it. that's Abdul Ahab. Furthermore his easygoing nature would always enable him to work with anyone anywhere. I have confidence that he would be able to perform the most arduous of tasks that he is entrusted with.


With thanks.

Dear Mr. Lee,


Request for increase in salary


I have been with your company for three years now working as a Sales Assistant. My salary has been stagnant at Rs. 830.00 per month for two years. These days, the salary is barely enough to make ends meet and with the cost of living spiralling upwards everyday, soon it will not be sufficient.


So may I request for an increase in salary of Rs. 200.00 per month?


This increase will ease things a bit for the immediate future at least.


Thank YOU.


Yours Sincerely,



James Wong

RE : WRONG GOODS


We received the goods you sent us via lorry transport (d/o 43290) yesterday. When we checked the goods, we found that you have sent us some wrong goods.


If you would check our order (No. 5987), we had asked for 3 dozen cans of A1 TOMATO PASTE. Instead you sent us 3 dozen bottles of A1 TOMATO SAUCE.


We have ample stock of Tomato Sauce but urgently need the Tomato Paste. So we are returning the Tomato Sauce to you. Could you send us the TOMATO PASTE as soon as possible? Please give us a c/n for the wrong goods.


Thank you.

Dear Sir / Madam,


Request for specimen copies


Many of my customers are school teachers and they often ask me to give them specimen copies of your publications (and other publications) to show to their pupils. I notice that the specimen copies greatly help to increase sale of the particular titles.

As I do not have extra copies to give as specimen, could you send me some specimen copies of some of your titles in print? I am sure they will prove beneficial in time to come.


Thank you.
