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 “Business communication”? 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.

 Formal letter writing should always be addressed &amp;#39;Dear Sir&amp;#39; in such cases of ambiguity - not even &amp;#39;Dear Sir/Madam&amp;#39;. 
 Gender equality might be a quaint philosophy to live by, but it doesn&amp;#39;t hold up in the archaic world or written etiquette. And, I&amp;#39;m afraid, it&amp;#39;s not really a &amp;#39;choice&amp;#39;, either...far too much of a liberal phenomenon.

 Dear Sir 

  

 Eighteen years have elapsed since the Tiananmen
Square Massacre. The immediate response after the tragedy adopted by the
Singapore government to continue maintaining and promoting intimate
relationship with the culprits of the atrocities, in contrast to the
condemnation and economic sanctions by most developed countries, has brought
tremendous detrimental effects to Singapore’s international prestige. Today, as
China is engaged in another incidence of human rights abuse in the Darfur
region of Sudan, I am writing to urge your excellent Administration to take a
stance, which I expect to display...</description></item><item><title>about my letter</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AboutMyLetter/vknbn/post.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jul 2007 13:04:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:387001</guid><dc:creator>babas001</dc:creator><description>Dear Sir or Madam,  I am writing to you to apply for the Master’s Degree in Public Management in which I am particularly interested.

 Dear ----, 
 With reference to my letter dated _______, please accept our apologies that we have, by mistakes, put your title wrongly as Area Director of Marketing. We are now enclosing the revised letter with your correct title “Area Director of Sales &amp;amp; Marketing” for your attention. 
  
 Sorry for any confusion caused.

 Sorry, I doubt that I'll help out much in the letter writing section. I enjoy helping people but I'm not entirely philanthropic--I generally only respond to threads that I find interesting. I also doubt that I'll be around enough to really be of much help. After all, I've been a member of this forum for about a year, and I have less than 100 posts.

 Thanks for the compliments. Yes, we are all volunteers. I don't think I want to admit how much time I spend here but for me it is a way to relax.
