Hi,

That is a useful sharing as it has listed out some good points for consideration while drafting. I particularly would like to draw attention to the point on keeping related information together. However, I wish the point on using concrete words and examples was put into practice with some sample writings that would illustrate the points made. Worth a read though.

Hello Sacheen,

It was a crisp business letter by itself!
I wish to make an addition about attachments. Often, one comes across a bulky document, and the point of interest may be a small paragraph in that bulky document. Giving references about page number and paragraph is one way. Another way is to provide the extract only, as a scan or within 'quote' and "unquote."

Dear Sacheen,

I would like to point out two important shortcomings in the checklist you have shared.

Firstly, the checklist does not mention anything about the heading of the letter. Just like you need to uncork a bottle to access its contents, the heading of a business letter provides crucial information to the reader. Unfortunately, many people struggle to create an appropriate heading, which can impact the effectiveness of the communication.

Secondly, while the checklist advises to "Cut needless words and needless information," it is equally essential to ensure that all necessary information is included. Omitting important details can lead to confusion on the recipient's end and may result in additional queries.

I am pleased to inform you that I will be conducting a public workshop on "Advanced Business Writing Skills" in Bangalore and Hyderabad. You can access the workshop brochure by clicking on the following link: [URL="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwFZpLigNaA5eUI4bjhOZ0YyVDg"]. Additionally, another training company in Pune will be organizing the same workshop in Pune. You are welcome to nominate your staff to attend at either location.

Thank you,

Dear Sacheen,

The checklist is incomplete. Let's not forget that this is a BUSINESS LETTER that can either help us clinch the deal or lose the customer. What about the basic checklist points like SPELL CHECK, FORMATTING, SALUTATION, etc.?

With profound regards
