Features: The letters we write to friends and family in daily life are usually casual and informal. Business letters, on the other hand, are a completely different matter. They must be clear and unambiguous, leaving no room for confusion. Otherwise, misunderstandings by the recipient may lead to financial losses. This manual is divided into four parts. English sample letters are located on the left page, accompanied by practical phrases extracted from the letters and explanations of each paragraph. Annotations and alternative phrasing are placed below the letters, marked by line numbers for easy modification of wording. Additionally, the corresponding Chinese version of the letters is arranged on the right page for easy reference. The primary goal of business letters is to convey meaning effectively and should not rely on obscure or flashy language to impress. The sample letters are concise and to the point. For administrative personnel who use English as a second language, referring to this manual will help them write clear and straightforward business letters.
