Re: Sentence structure is back bone in business writing, how much effective it is?

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:00:38 GMT

Its very true and I totally agree with you. Think for a while that why resumes and cover letter writing is considered very effective for getting a job. What do you think why in all institutions all over the world teach their business level students subject of âBusiness communicationâ? The reason is that even to get a business deal you must known how to impress the other party through your expression and that usually includes both writing and speaking skills. Now suppose if you write an application letter to a multinational company and you do not take care of the exclamatory marks or the grammar rules or any lingual rule, do you think that you will be able to give string impression? No not at all. Thatâs why it is very true sentence structure is the backbone of business writing.

Application letter for a nursery school -

AndyAstronaut — Sat, 02 Jul 2005 14:41:18 GMT

Dear forum members,

We would like to enroll our son in an English nursery school - admission is very difficult (at this age!!). Though we belive our English is acceptable for normal communication, we are not too sure about formal letter writing. We appreciate any corrections/tips/help. Thank you very much

Martha

Dear Sir/Madam:

>>

We would like to apply for our sonÂ´s admission to your nursery school in 2007. Our sonÂ´s name is Jamshed and he is 16 months old.

After having spoken to a friend of ours, Dr. Ravi Chandra, whose children are attending St. PaulÂ´s, we believe your school can provide a good and stimulating environment for our son. Dr. Chandra suggested that we contact you early on, due to the growing demand for enrollment in the nursery school. >>

An important motivation for selecting a multinational school is our personal background. My husband Koti was born in India (his mother is Indian) and raised in China, where he visited an international school. Our family and many of our friends are spread all over the world - India, Britain, United States, Australia and Singapore - so English has become the de facto lingua franca. Apart from the language aspect, we believe that an early exposure to another culture is particularly helpful for a young child. >>

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at the above address or by phone at (1234) 5678. We thank you for considering our application, and we look forward to hearing from you soon. >>

Yours sincerely,

>>
