Added for You - Writing Business Letters - Tutorial 3: Writing a Quality Letter
Ever since she was a small girl, Geraldine wanted to have her own business. As she grew up she gradually decided that, as she loved beautiful clothes, she would save up her money and open a boutique.By the time she was 25, Geraldine had saved enough money to realize her dream. So she set about finding a vacant store, securing a long lease, buying fittings and fixtures and bringing in stock. By the time opening day came, Geraldine was tired, broke but happy. She had realized her dream; she had her own business.One week after opening, reality had begun to set in. Geraldine had begun to realize that being business meant more than having a shop full of stock to sell. She realized she needed customers too.She had excellent knowledge of fashions, f

Every letter you write should have an opening sentence or paragraph that states why you are writing (but don't say, "I'm writing to say ...." as your recipient knows you have written), a body of one or more paragraphs where you expan
Business cards help businesspeople present a good company image by highlighting the services provided by a particular company. They can also help to enhance the personal image of a businessperson. Production and printing costs of business cards are low, but benefits are high, as they make a statement in the business world.

A custom-made corporate card serves as a great advertising gimmick. The use of business cards is a self-effacing and high-performance way of marketing. One or two color business cards can be printed overnight, but multi-color customized cards take a bit longer and

Why Do We Write Letters?
Is this a dumb question? No way Jose! Let's do some revision to get us into a communication mindset before we jump head first into this tutorial. It will help us make sense of it. So, why do we write letters? To:
- Ask someone
- Tell someone
- Get something done (by asking and telling)
That's it. In doing these things there are some different communication styles we follow to get the most out of our communication. For example, the most common letter types are:
- Request letters; requests for information, purchase orders, or other action
- No letters; telling someone 'no' requires tact and thoughfullness
- Sales letters; you've seen thousands of these
- Applications; you've probably submitted a few job or other applications
- Complaint; hopefully you don't write too many of these!
- Condolence; these are difficult to write
- Information letters and cover letters; these tell someone something and are sometimes like sales letters

A duopoly is a situation in which two firms control nearly all of the market for a product or service.Duopolies can be surprisingly competitive. If you remember that the price of a product or service is determined solely by the highest losing bid price and the lowest losing ask price, you’ll realize why a duopoly can be so competitive. A large number of inefficient competitors will have almost no affect on prices in the long run unless someone (either a government or a group of idiotic investors) is willing to continually finance unprofitable operations in an unprofitable industry (think airlines).Of course, there is always the fear of a price fixing scheme in a duopoly. Generally, however, that fear is unfounded. Human nature suggests a price fixin

Metal detectors are devices used for detecting metallic objects from the soil, people, or cargo. Metallic objects can be treasures buried underground, discarded pieces of aluminum, jewelry or valuable coins. Metal detectors satisfy all needs in humanitarian, industrial and security fields. Knowledge on how metal detectors work helps people to use metal detectors more effectively.A typical metal detector comprises four main parts such as stabilizer, control box, shaft, and search coil. The search coil is also called search head, loop or antenna. The stabilizer provides excellent stability for metal detectors in use. It is placed near the hand grip area. The control box is the brain of a metal detector. It consists of a microprocessor, circuitry, speaker, co

Every letter you write should have an opening sentence or paragraph that states why you are writing (but don't say, "I'm writing to say ...." as your recipient knows you have written), a body of one or more paragraphs where you expand on the reasons why you are writing, and usually (but not always), an action ending.
The opening sentence or paragraph is required so your recipient knows immediately why you have written. The subject line, if appropriately created, will also help. When your Mother receives a letter from you she knows you are writing because you love her ... or perhaps want a loan (just kidding) and usually she is delighted to hear from you. The business people with whom you correspond, however, receive hundreds or thousands of letters and may never have heard of you or your firm before; if you are a client, they may not recall having done business with you and can't guess what you could possibly want. So tell them in one of a variety of ways:
"Please consider my application for ...."
"I saw your advertisement for widgets in the Sunday Trader and ...."
"I was sorry to learn that ...."
"I was terribly disappointed when I ....
"Your letter of 10th October about widgets arrived and ...."
Get the drift? State up front what it is you want. That way, the first person reading the letter can decide whether he/she or someone else needs to deal with it without reading the whole letter. It helps speed the process so you may get a reply sooner.
If you are really on the ball, you will create for yourself a list of standard opening sentences y
