Business letters

A business letter is a record as much as a message. A clear subject, the facts, the request and the deadline are what make a payment reminder or order letter work.

How to write business letters

  1. Put the subject and the reference (invoice, order, quotation) at the top.
  2. Say what happened or what you need in the first paragraph.
  3. Give the amount, dates and the deadline.
  4. Close politely, sign and keep a copy with proof of sending.

When to use one

  • Payment reminders and demands
  • Quotations and orders
  • Supplier complaints and apologies
  • Partnership proposals

FAQ

How formal should a business letter be?

Professional but plain: a clear subject line, short paragraphs, the facts first and the request near the top. Avoid long legal phrases unless the matter is legal.

Should I keep a copy?

Always. Keep a dated copy and proof of sending for every payment reminder, order cancellation or complaint to a supplier.
