Business Letters

A business letter is a type of formal letter that can be written from one corporation to another, between a corporation and its clients or alternatively to an external party. Formal business letters will be written for one of the following main reasons: to apologize, to comment, to request, to confirm or to inquire. For whatever the reason, all the different types of business letters will follow the same format.

Business letters should have a clearly defined purpose as well as an obvious recipient that is being addressed. This style of communication is formal and the language used within the letter should reflect this.
