If the person is an acquaintance and not yet a friend, I keep my personal discussion very superficial. "I hope you enjoyed your weekend in La Plata" (fictious name, I hope). If we become friends, that I am more likely to engage in personal discussion of a friendly and positive nature. But again, in business correspondence, my language is more "professional" and devoid of personal stuff. We are all different Sadak, and there is no point making life and business more difficult by discussing taboo subjects.

That never fails. That said, I would never in business communcation talk about "Grace of Almighty" or "will be obedient to you for ever" or "For sure i pray for all your health & Wealth". For the most part, religeon has no place in business discussions. Keep it out. You don't know if the person you are dealing with is an aetheist, agnostic, or prays to his house plants every day. It really should not matter to you. If it does matter, then you should clear that issue immediately. But in my business correspondence, I stay away from that stuff.http://www.englishforums.com/English/HowWriteBusinessLetters/mrnb/post.htmMon, 25 May 2009 08:12:03 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:59178sadak2http://www.englishforums.com/English/HowWriteBusinessLetters/mrnb/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-59178.xmlRespected teacher, Myself A.
