Business Letter
As with all written assignments in this class, ask yourself these questions first while constructing this letter:
— What is the purpose?
— How do you get a response and what response do I want?
— State reasons for writing that person or company/organization
— Get quickly to the point and clearly state your reasons
— Remember to give contact information, phone number, etc.
— Do you have the correct format? Remember this is business letter format not a memo.
