By Business letters

This is a letter I am thinking of sending the ceo of small software company that recently laid me and many others off. The business contacted me about finishing some work for a customer on contract but the customer is expected to not agree to the price of the project. I wrote the letter to...

Hi again, I didn't realize that I had done so! I should have used a comma. You do use a colon in formal American English business letters. I must have been in "work mode" and didn't realize what I was doing!

I'm confused as to why everyone thinks that we need a "rule" to tell us how to end an e-mail? Isn't it kinda funny that the less you know the recipient, the more cheesy your ending has to sound? (sorry, that was a cheap shot) Honestly, I think that e-mail is a superior method of communication...

Best wishes is fine for informal letters to friends and acquaintances, but it is certainly too casual for business letters and job applications. Use Sincerely yours-- it is never inappropriate.

Try a search at http://www.google.com with: site:bbc.co.uk "at this time" and separately with: site:bbc.co.uk "at that time" (quotation marks are important) which will perform a search on that bastion of good English, the BBC You will find that "at that time" is related mostly with...

Hi, It depends to some extent on why you are writing. If you are just writing a business letter, I don't see anything wrong with beginning 'Dear Sir'. You are really 'talking to' the company rather than the people. If you are writing to invite them to a party, ie writing to them as separate...
