Writing a business letter that works Knowledge is power. Plug yourself in. Used properly, a business letter can catapult your career to a new level of success, or make great things happen in your personal life. Unfortunately, the sword has two edges. A business letter can also backfire on you and cause disaster.
Most business letters fall somewhere in the middle.
A good business letter is clear, interesting, and informative. It sparkles with crisp writing, good grammar, and correct spelling. It has an appealing layout, simple format, and professional look to it. Because of all these things, a good business letter gets a positive response from the reader. That response sets the stage for you to get an order, close a sale, rectify an error, or accomplish some other worthy goal.
