Как писать деловые письма

1. Begin from the end. Decide what you would like to happen as a result of your letter. Want money? To sell something? A promotion? Summarize your letter in a sentence. The best letters have a strong sense

of purpose.

2. Put yourself in you r reader's place. Therefore be friendly and nice. Never write in anger. Your anger will evaporate: your letter will remain. Find ways to turn negative statements into positive ones.

3. Write plainly. Keep your sentences short — one idea in each. Any sentence long r than two typed lines is automatically suspect. Try to write the way you talk.

4. Decide what information is important and what is irrelevant. -Chop out the whole paragraphs if they do not contribute. In particular, pay attention on adjectives as Voltaire wrote «The adjectives is the

enemy of the noun».

5. Use active verbs. Be brave not to write, «Your invoice has been misdirected» instead of «I have misdirected your invoice» Whenever you can, use pronouns I, we, and you addressing your reader by name

«Dear Ms White». The passive voice sounds rather wimpy.

6. Check your grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style. Set up a clean, logical format for your letter. Read the text aloud to yourself or to someone else and ask him or her to look critically at your draft.

7. End the letter with an action step. The last sentence of your letter should suggest the reader's or your own next move like «If you have any problems, please do not hesitate to call us at...».
