Learning aids
1.Two main business letter formats
Business letters are important matters you deal with. For such letters as invitation letters and application letters, there are two main formats: full block format and modified block format with indented paragraphs.
·Full block format
This format is very modern. Every line of the letter begins at the left margin (flush left), with a space of one line between paragraphs. It adopts open punctuation, which means that no punctuation marks are used outside the body of the letter, except for a comma after the salutation and the complementary close respectively.
·Modified block format with indented paragraphs
Different from the full block format, this format places the date and the complimentary close near the right margin. And the first
line of each paragraph is indented, with no space of one line between paragraphs. If the letterhead isn’t preprinted on the stationery, you should put it directly above the date.
2.Explanation of invitation letters
·Letterhead
Letterhead refers to the full address (street/road address, city, province, country) of the writer (the conference host). postcode, phone number, fax number and email address may also be included. It usually appears at the very top of the letter, either in the left corner, right corner, or at the center. Wherever you put it, be sure that your address is complete.
·Date
Put down the full date: date, month, and year. It comes right after and just below your address. It is a common pratice to put the date against the left margin in the full block style. The date of the letter should be quite clear. The year should be given in full, the month should be written in words to avoid misunderstanding and confusion, and the day may be written in cardinal or ordinal numbers and be put before (British style) or after (American style) the month.
British Stytle: 8 May, 2006 8th March, 2006
American Stytle: May 8, 2006 March 8th, 2006
·Inside address
The inside address gives the name and full address of the recipient, which is always on the left margin. Write it with an appropriate courtesy title (e.g. Mrs., Ms., Miss, Mr.), professional title (e.g. Dr., Professor) or business title if any (e.g. Manager, Directer), institution/organization, address, etc. Courtesy and professional titles always appear before the name while business titles come after the name. Never use business titles in the salutation. Remember to make the inside address as complete as possible.·Salutation
This is a greeting to the recipient. Salutation is also always on the left margin.
·Body of the letter
The body of the letter-the message-is the most important part in which the conference host/organizer(s) state(s) the occasion, time and venue, introduce(s) the purpose of writing, the theme/arrangement of the conference and experss(es) the anticipated pleasure in seeing the invited person(s).
·Complimentary close
The complimentary close can be put either on the left-hand side or right-hand side of the page, with the first letter capitalized, and followed by a comma. As with the salutation, your complimentary
close should reflect your relationship with the recipient. The following are some of the most often used complimentary closed. (1)Formal closes:
Sincerely yours, Respectfully yours, Very truly yours,
Yours sincerely, Yours respectfully, Yours truly,
(2)Informal closes (often in emails):
Best regards, Best wishes, With best wishes,
All the best, With respect,
·Signature
An English letter always requires to be signed, which should be put between the complimentary close and the typed name, including the writer’s position or status in the organization.
·Enclosure(s) (if any)
This can be used to remind the recipient of the additional material(s) put in the invitation letter, such as an agenda of a conference or a curriculum vitae in an application letter. Some prefer the abbreviation Encl.
