Re: Present Perfect (americans)

Hi Yankee! Thanks for your answer! I think your right that I possibly didn't give you enough context! One example give really confuses me a lot, that's the I('ve) attached a picture(to an e-mail) thing. I've seen this so often in e-mails from american companys and it was always writen with I have attached, but in my present perfect concept I'd rather choose I attached... (what I've also thought about is that maybe it's because it's a business letter because for me I've attached sounds also more formal. Is it ture? Does the present perfect sometimes sound more formal?)

what's the difference: estimate, quote

Could you teach me about the usage and meaning differences among

" estimate" , " quote" and "quotation" in business letters ?

It's in blue, so it's just an alternate possibility, not a requirement that you change it.

I suggested the change because the dates already make the time sequence clear.

Further, the briefer terms your letter of, my letter of, etc. followed by the date are typical in business letters.

.
1-- Do not type in all capital letters; it is rude.
2-- Read the Announcements and FAQs at the top of this forum, the ESL, Formal, General & Business Letter Writing (English language) forum

"Yours faithfully" for an application letter? I think not; too familiar.

This is more like a business letter.

In fact, I would make the salutation To Whom It May Concern

and end it with Sincerely,

But then again, I give a US perspective.

For a formal business letter, those ending are not appropriate. the commonly accepted and what i consider to be the most appropriate "ending" is: Very truly yours,

Please correct my business letter

Hi, could you do me a favor?I'd like you to correct the following business letter. I wrote '???' where I'm not sure. --

Dear Sir/Madam

We greatly appreciate your quick response for your cost quotation of our audio equipment research in the Russian market.

After having several discussions with our client about the terms???,

we regrettably decided to ( accept / adopt ) another company's suggestion.

However, as your idea was also an excellent one,

if we have a similar ( case / project )??? in the near future, we would like to ask you

an inquiry??? about it.

We would like to maintain a good relationship with you,

Best Regards,

Yes, it was the three little dots I was referring to. I'm sorry I should have been more concise. This is for a business letter that I was hesitant to mail with the dot, dot, dot.

As far as the writing, not bad I was getting intrigued.

Thank you.

Re: Application for vacation leave

Grammar Geek — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 12:57:04 GMT

Dear Sirs, In American business English, we would not say this. If "Dear Sirs" is a common way to start a business letter where you are, then it's fine. But if you are writing to your own boss, wouldn't you use his/her name?

This is to inform you that My Air ticket's validity will expire on 10th May 2008. So i hereby request you to grant me the Home leave as per Bank's rules and regulations. Your company has regulations about letting you use vacation because of expiring airline miles? Make sure you capitalize I. Is "home leave" a specific type of leave? Is there a reason to capitalize it? There's no reason to capitalize "Bank" and it needs an article/determiner.

I have tickets with an airline that will expire on 10th May 2008, and would therefore like to take X days of leaver, from [date 1] to [date 2], in accordance with company rules.

Gulf Exc will not allow to appoint anyone else from outsource in our replacement. As per Mr Ramesh Badjate our bank has to arrange for our replacement.

I have absolutely no idea what this means.

So pls advise , and hope you'll grant my leave application. Please let me know if you approve this leave request. I appreciate your consideration.
