Notas on Letter-writing
100
In letter-writing- Not many peuple excel many letters today are dull and stereotyped. The phrases are worn-out. The wordings do not sparkle with interest and excitement. The punctuation is wrong and the contents are often expressed in a long-winded way.
The art of letter-writing can be easily gained in one follows a regular practice of the fundamental principles of writing letters. To start with familiarize yourself with the following basic requirements of an effective letter
-
the letter that your friend likes to receive, your boss likes you to write or the letter that your prospective employer is happy to read.
(1) Good Paragraphing
A letter should have a number of well- balanced carefully Britton paragraphs. They should be short and to the paint, bach paragraph should express
Aides. Short, fragraph slways easy to read and understand they are therefore interesting.
(2) Clarity of language
Your language should be clear and simple, Good idiomatic expression may be used but de tote ise undignified phrases which are known as Jargon or alang. Unlike writing an essay, when you write a letter you should not be too descriptive otherwise you may be too long-winded. Ba laconic and accurate. Economy of words should be strictly observed. A good rule to remember is to be concise and precise.
(3) Functuation
Sentences must be well punctuated. Be able to distinguish the use betwean comes and full-stops; solons and semi-colons.
(4) Standard Phrases
Experienced letter riters tend to use certain phrases which are accepted as good standard phrases, We may collect these phrases an attempt to make use of them at the right time. But care should be taken to distinguish good standard phrases from worn-out ones. (5) Neatre 95
Write as neatly as you possibly can. Your beatness will reflect your quality of work and more significantly your personality. Ensure therefore that your work is not done in a slipshod manner.
