SBI PO: BUSINESS LETTER FORMAT

Dear readers, here we are presenting you a few writing tips and format of Business Letter Writing , which will be important for upcoming SBI PO exam.

A business letter, as the name suggests, is a letter which has a formal tone and is used for business purposes. Apart from this, business letters are also written for conveying messages to people who we do not know personally. This makes the business letter different from the usual casual or informal letter.

While writing a business letter, a person has to follow certain rules. One of the most important rules is that it should be short and concise. Businessmen do not have the time to read long letters and hence, the letter should not be more than a page i.e., with maximum 2-3 paragraphs. Apart from this, you have to follow a unique format for business letters, which differs to a large extent from informal letters.

Business Letter Writing Tips:

It will be a good idea to gather some crucial information on the things that you have to keep in mind while writing a business letter. Here, you will find some important tips for the same.

Sender's address and date: According to the rules, it is important to begin the letter with the address and other contact details of the sender. Followed by this, one has to mention the date on which the letter is written.

Recipient's name and address: After you have written the date, you have to mention the recipient's name and full address. This should come 4-6 lines after the date.

Salutation: Once you are done with the address of the recipient, you have to begin the letter with a salutation. The salutation should have a greeting word or phrase followed by a personal title - Mr./Ms. - and the full name of the person. Some of the letter salutations that you can use for business letters include Dear (full name), Dear Sir/Madam, etc. If you do not know the name of the recipient, it would be best to begin with To Whomsoever It May Concern.

Subject: After the salutation comes the subject line where you have to mention the purpose of the letter in short. Make sure that the subject line is in upper-case characters and is aligned either to the left or to the center.

Body: The body of the letter can have 2-3 paragraphs. In the introduction, talk about the reason for writing the letter and in the following paragraphs, you can give the necessary details. It is important to maintain double-line spaces between paragraphs when you are writing a business letter.

Complimentary closing: Once you finish writing the letter, you have to end it with a complimentary closing. Some of the closings include Respectfully Yours, Sincerely, etc. Leave four blank spaces after the complimentary closing and then, write your full name. The blank space should be used to sign your name.

Enclosure: If you have enclosed some document with your letter, it is important for you to mention it just below your name. Leave two spaces and write 'Enclosure' or 'Enclosures' below it. If you have attached more than one enclosure, do not forget to mention the correct number in brackets.

How to write an essay?

1. Analyze the prompt.

• Note exactly what is asked in the question.
• Write down the prompt on the rough page.
• Underline the key words in the prompt. Look for words like "explain," "identify," "analyze" or "define."
• Break down the prompt into components. If you are to "identify" something and then "analyze" it, then write 1 paragraph identifying what's requested and a second paragraph analyzing what you identified.

2. List all of your ideas.

• Write short sentence fragments or keywords of all of the facts that you can remember. These should be facts that will support the arguments or statements that you will make in your essay.

3. Write a thesis statement for the entire essay.

• This statement should identify the point that you will make in your essay.
• Avoid writing statements about yourself. For instance, don't write "I think" or "The point I will make today is..."
• Make the thesis statement specific.When writing about an interpretation,use neutral language to state your opinion.Write "Jawahar Lal Nehru will always be remembered as a great Indian Prime Minister because he arguably ended the slavery in India." Avoid writing "Everyone thinks Jawahar Lal Nehru is the best Prime Minister in history."
• Make every paragraph in your essay after carefully considering the thesis statement.

4. Divide the facts that you listed earlier into 2 to 4 groups.

• Note the common characteristics of the points in each group. The common characteristics will become the topic sentences for your body paragraphs.
• Discard ideas that don't support your main points. Adding additional ideas will make your writing unfocused.
• Rank each group in order of importance. Start with the least important point in your first body paragraph and conclude with your strongest point in your last body paragraph.

5. Write the topic sentences for your body paragraphs.

• Use 1 or 2 sentences for each supporting point in your paragraphs. Make sure the sentences directly relate to the paragraph's topic sentence.
• State the supporting point. Then, state why the point is important. Never write something down without explaining its significance.

6. Write the concluding statements for each paragraph.

• Restate the argument that you made in your topic sentence.

7. Create a short introduction for your essay.

• For example, use a fact, quote or statistic that relates to your thesis statement. Your thesis statement should be the last sentence of your introduction.

8. Write a conclusion. 

• The conclusion should restate the thesis statement, briefly summarize the arguments that you made and finish by stating the ultimate point of your essay.
