Dear Mr. English:
The first paragraph of a typical business letter is used to state the main
point of the letter. Begin with a friendly opening; then quickly transition
into the purpose of your letter. Use a couple of sentences to explain the
purpose, but do not go in to detail until the next paragraph.
Beginning with the second paragraph, state the supporting details to
justify your purpose. These may take the form of background
information, statistics or first-hand accounts. A few short paragraphs
within the body of the letter should be enough to support your reasoning.
Finally, in the closing paragraph, briefly restate your purpose and why it
is important. If the purpose of your letter is employment related, consider
ending your letter with your contact information. However, if the purpose
is informational, think about closing with gratitude for the reader's time.
Sincerely,
Lucy Letter
