thank you owen, it's complete for all kinds of letters.

hope this would aid you... http://www.4hb.com/letters/index.html

[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

yes, got a lot of tips from many kindly friends here, now I am almost ready a new business letter.

Yes, I am not in Qatar, is this website only for people in Qatar? one of my friend told me this website. Maybe we will have an office in Qatar several years later, hoping i can be there to meet you all.

We don't sell construction materials, but can't tell you what we're selling here, or it will be AD i think, but at least you're wrong.

connieshee.. hijacking means when people start talking about other subject not related to your thread..

Good luck with your letter..

-----------------

HE WHO DARES WINS

yes, I am writing a new business letter now. I like what you all talk, a lot of new words I am learning. For example 'hijacking', does that mean inserting some dialogues here?

I hope that you have gained valuable tips on how to adress people in written correspondence..

I dont know but I have feeling that you are not in Qatar am I right? Also I think you work for a company that sells construction materials like stone tiles etc?..Or may be I am wrong..

HE WHO DARES WINS

thanks mjamille28, i'll be right back, i am cooking now

you may use Ms. :)

thanks arecel, i will recheck the details you mentioned.

By the way, should I write down 'MS, MISS' before my name? cause some people address me 'MR', but i am a girl.

thanks Mis-Cat, there are different features in your letter, it's quite straight to the point and simple as you said, some people may like it. Many thanks.

most welcome, glad to help out.. ;)

I see now, thanks mjamille28

what did you mean? UkEng have lots of suggestions, and i think they are good, but i can't follow his/her mind.

another thing connie, if you are printing the letter and give hard copies to clients, be careful of the font style and the size. the normal size should be 12 and the font should be official looking like verdanna. be careful with the spaces also. review before printing. check punctuation marks,spellings and typo errors.

mo lang!

thank you arecel, i did call the company and ask for the name and email of right person in my last company, but in my new company, it's not allowed to call.

First of all leave out the first sentence of your letter.

Set out for a Business letter should be as follows:

Top Right hand side of page

Date and referance Number (if you use a letter register)

Company Name(company you wish to send letter too)

Adress

telephone No.

Fax No(if Known)

Email(if known)

ATT: To whom it may concern (or name and Title of Adressee if known)

Subject: (in this case) Letter of Introduction

it's not a bad word connie,.. Pare is how Filipinos usually address their friends (applies to male).. but u cannot use it in a business letter.

UkEng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If he give attention to your letter, it means, it's good! If not, go to your second target. Who? Ask UkEng!

"dgoodrebel will always be the rebellious good one"

is 'PARE' a bad word? i'll search it by google

glad to help connie.. :)

thank you mjamille28 very very much. after reading your letter, i found i really miss a lot of info. in my letter. The company name i forgot to mention in my letter, and the grammar is not good, and I like your closing sentences, which can inspire people.

QS im just trying to genuinely help..

mjamille28

you are hired.. lol..

i will save it as a template.. :)

you mean finding target audience is the first step, then send the letter to them?/

connie just ignore it, you dont wanna use PARE in a business correspondence.. he was just pulling your leg..

MY VERSION:

..im not sure if i was able to help but i hope i did in my own little way...

connieshee, find time to call the company and ask for the complete name of the person and his/her designation. you will be viewed positively and grab their attention if you can make this extra effort.

mo lang!

Thanks Richierich, but I don't understand the word 'PARE', sorry my english is not good, does it mean 'dear'?

of course i can teach you words in Chinese, which words or setences do you want to learn?

So it is sales letter you are trying to sell them your product.. This is called marketing..

First rule of marketing is to know your target. If you dont know your target audience then you will get your message across. So try to do some research about who your intended target is..

-----------------

HE WHO DARES WINS

yes you may now.. :)

hi mjamille28 thank you. yes i will leave out contact info, and key words in my letter when I post it. I do need help not for ad here, may I now?

connie, UkEng said NO to posting your e-mail address here... i dont see anything wrong posting the letter here if you really need help as long as you leave out contact info..

Your beginning word must be PARE or MY FRIEND.

__________________________________________

Life is short, so try to make it long!

what should i do now? EngQatar said 'NO' and Mjamille28 said 'YES", post it or not? who can decide it for me?

may be it is a good idea to take some very basic business course before strating your own business? (i don't think someone could hire you for this post).. just a thought...

btw way, do you know how to FINISH the letter? or we also have to come up with the options?

and what about writing the content? can you handle that one?

Dear Sir or Madam is ok. But if you can get to know his name, that would be better. Also, be very careful about the spelling of his/her name. It shows you've exerted effort to know the details.

True, first impression lasts, and it applies on the appearance of the letter. Remember that it is not you writing the letter, it is the company. Whatever comes from your company, is from your Company.

**************************

Everything happens for a

reason.

ok post it here, we'll try to help.. :)

connie not a good idea to post your email on the forum.. please remove it staright away, before you start getting funny emails for friend sheep...lol

-----------------

HE WHO DARES WINS

Thank you UkEngQatar and other friends here, could I adhere my first business letter here, and could you all help me to perfect it? (that's not an Ad, i will cover the key words by XXX) May I?

Being funny aside..

You have to create a good impression of your self in your first letter, as they say first impression may be the last.

So depending if it is business letter or if you are asking, thats what letters are all about because you want something.

So address them as Dear Sir or Madam etc..

-----------------

HE WHO DARES WINS

then it would be either

Dear Sir or Madam

or

To Whom it May Concern

you said you are fresh here.. so i thought you want to start bombarding us with the PMs... :)

or

*********************

“You become responsible forever for what you have tamed”. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

like Ukeng said, you may use "To Whom It May Concern", or Dear Sir/Madam...

thank you UkEngQatar, I like this word because i really don't know who will concern my first letter, maybe it's thrown into the spambox.

Manufacturer for concrete block machines

Thanks very much Mjamille28, I want to write the first business correspondence, people you've never known and met before. How do people address in Qatar? Thanks

MSN: [email protected]

Manufacturer for concrete block machines

the person deserves some respect

the address him as

Dear moron you

You bloody muffin

If it is your first letter and you dont know them, then write

"To Whom it May Concerns"

-----------------

HE WHO DARES WINS

UkEng.. you are hillarious

*********************

“You become responsible forever for what you have tamed”. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
