Features: This book aims to provide some assistance to those who wish to improve their letter-writing skills. The first few chapters introduce the materials needed for writing letters, the overall format of letters, grammar, and punctuation usage. The later chapters cover the main themes of letters, such as job applications and employment, business correspondence, complaints, and travel. In the later chapters, we also provide many examples of letters. When you sit down to write to a potential employer, complain about the quality of goods or services, or inquire about accommodation, these examples can help you get started. We should remind readers that the letter examples provided in this book are intended solely for writing guidance and should not be copied verbatim. Although there are many standard expressions in the examples that can be borrowed in specific contexts, generally speaking, you should write in your own words rather than mechanically copying others' language.
