Do'S and Don'ts in Business Invitations

a_hoechl — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:27:51 GMT

Hi, I would like someone to help me with a project I have to do for university. I have to make a presentation on the do'S and don'ts in business invitations. What I mainly want to talk about is when you send letters to customers or to other companies about an event like the launh of a new product, so what you have to include in such invitations as well as what you shouldn't do or include. I know we should not use the informal approach, don't send out these invitations just a few days before the big event, are there any other don'ts i could talk about
i would really appreciate it

Dear Mister Micawber, teachers and fellow friends,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I really appreciate it. Just one more thing, do you thing I should mention about part time lecturer because I never mention it in my application letter.

The main purpose I want to apply for part time job is because I like to teach people. It makes me remember things better especially things that related to my work (I only teaching subject that related to my work). After all, because of the nature of my job, I have a lot of free time.

Dear Sarah,

With reference to your email of 21^st November, I would like to thank you very much for your invitation. I really appreciate the opportunity for an interview. The position is very interesting. I am very much interested in the opportunity to contribute to University of XYZ. Unfortunately, I have just joined Company X this month, and I will start working on shift as per the following schedule (Where 0 is a working day and X is an off day):

M T W T F S S M T W T F S S

0 0 0 0 X X X X 0 0 0 X X X

I will soon start this shift work, after completing the training. Currently, I must come to my office 9 â 5 every day.

As I have just joined the company, it would be difficult to take a day's leave at the moment. Would it be possible for you to postpone my interview until I am on shift work, when I could then have it scheduled during one of my off days?

Normal 0 false false false EN-MY X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 I apologize for any difficulty this rescheduling may cause and I look forward to hearing from you about this possibility. Thank you very much for your time and trouble.

Best regards,

Hampeh

Dear teachers and friends,

The scenario is like this. I just joined the Company ABC and still in training. Yesterday I received an email from University XYZ. They asked me whether Iâm available for the interview.

I really want the position as a part time which I donât mentioned it while I writing email to them. Hopefully they can schedule the interview while Iâm on leave because Iâm working on shift. And hopefully, while Iâm on off day, I can teaching there as a part time lecturer.

Here is the email from her and my draft. Your kind advice in this matter would be most appreciated.

Dear Hampeh,

I am writing with regard to your application for a lecturing position at University of ABC.

I would like to invite you over for an interview next week. Will Thursday 11th September, 10 am be convenient for you?

Regards,

Sarah

And here is my draft to her...

Dear Sarah,

Thanks for your invitation. I really appreciate the opportunity given. The position is very interesting.

Fyi, I have just joined Company X this month and I will start working on shift as of the following.

M T W T F S S M T W T F S S

0 0 0 0 X X X X 0 0 0 X X ***

Where 0 is working days and X is off day. Iâlll start the shift later after completed the training. Now I have to come at office at 9 â 5 every day.

As I joined the company, I wouldnât be nice if I take a leave. Is it possible if your good side can wait until Iâm working on shift whereby I can attend to the interview during my off day.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you and best regards,

Hampeh

Mr. Miclawer,

I wasnât going to expand this pluralization discussion on âcreamsâ and âwinesâ.
But it really bothered the heck out of me for two reasons.
1) I really wanted to find out if I was really blowing hot air on this subject
because of my misunderstanding of this topic, and 2) if there is another side of the usage
I am not aware of.
This is perhaps not relevant to the discussion but to establish my point, I think it needs
to be said. Mrs. Milton whom I learned English from was an excellent English teacher who
also had taught for 5 years at the Beijing University, which is a top University in China, by
invitation of the Government. Many of her students had landed positions working for the
Chinese Government and the U.N. as translators and interpreters. I was very blessed to be
among her students. Most of my English foundation was learned from her. And I was really
surprised to see your examples pluralizing âcreamâ and âwineâ. By your earlier examples, which I
compared with the information found on the WEB, I must ask this question. Am I to understand
that itâs completely grammatical to say in a restaurant âmay I have 2 waters and soups?â. I know
we hear that all the time but if we are discussing the whether a particular usage is grammatically
correct, running into this type of scenario is inevitable. Here are some âsupportsâ you had
asked for which may not may not be validated to your satisfaction. No doubt, you are the
English authority and perhaps possess âsuperiorityâ over many frequented this forum and I donât
mean to sound like challenging your examples, let alone to waste anymore of your time.
Nonetheless, as a serious learner, Iâd owe the real answers to myself and the learners if I just
accepted your answers as given. I may be wrong with my search result and you are correct.
And If so, here is my âadvanced apologyâ.

Nouns only countable nouns can be either singular or plural. ... He had some ice cream on
his face. He had an ice cream. mass. countable ...

A Revision of the RulesThe exceptions require that the rule for pluralizing be revised: count nouns and nouns used 
in a count sense can be pluralized; noncount nouns and nouns used in a noncount sense cannot.

	Pluralizes with -s	Does not Pluralize
Count Noun	X
Count Use	X
Noncount Noun		X

If coffee is an uncountable noun, cream certainly is by common sense. Thus the rule applies.

Â· Answerer 1

Many nouns can be used as countables or uncountables. It depends on whether you are thinking of a substance or
a single serving or object made of the substance. So:

Beer is fattening (uncountable - the substance)
Don't drink more than three beers a day. (Countable - servings)

I love chocolate (uncountable - the substance)
Get me a box of chocolates (countable - individual pieces)

A vase made of blown glass (uncountable - the substance)
A glass of wine (A single piece / artifact)

Coffee gives me indigestion (the substance - uncountable)
I need at least three coffees to wake up on a morning (countable - individual servings)

http://www3.law.cuny.edu/wc/students/multilingual/articles.html

Uncountable nouns often refer to drinks and food, other general substances, or concepts (meat, tea, steel, information, justice):

Examples of Uncountable Nouns in English:

Food and Drink: bacon, beef, beer, bread, butter, cabbage, candy, cauliflower, chicken, chocolate, coffee, corn,
cream, fish, fruit, juice, lettuce, meat, milk, oil, pasta, rice, salt, spinach, sugar, tea, water, whiskey, wine, yogurt.
General Substances: air,cement, clay, coal, copper, dirt, dust, foam, gasoline, gold, ice, leather, paper, petroleum,
plastic, rain, rubber, silver, soap, steel, wood, wool.
Abstract nouns: abandonment, access, adultery, advice, alimony, anger, anguish, arson, authentication, beauty, capacity,
conduct, confidence, courage, deprivation, desperation, discretion, employment, empowerment, evidence, extortion, fortune,
fun, happiness, health, honesty, housing, information, insurance, intelligence, intent, knowledge, land, love, malice, negligence,
poverty, privacy, real estate, sadness, satisfaction, strength, truth, wealth.
Others: biology, clothing, darkness, equipment, furniture, gossip, homework, jewelry, luggage, machinery, mail, money, music,
news, poetry, pollution, research, scenery, traffic, transportation, violence, weather, weight, work.

Some uncountable nouns (except for concepts) can be turned into countable nouns by preposing a phrase to them
(two bottles of wine, a bar of soap, a piece of information, an act of violence, a burst of anger, a piece of evidence).

e.g. The defendant's lawyer is sure the judge will accept new evidence in this case.

vs. The defendant's lawyer is sure the judge will accept three new pieces of evidence in this case.

Some uncountable nouns can be used in the plural, but their meaning changes:

experience / experiences: e.g., He had to rely on experience / I lived unforgettable experiences

Hi,
I would like to ask you question on how to write a formal letter. Suppose you want to extend someone an invitation in order to attend a conference and you must specify the dates when the conferencce will be held. Would you consider correct the following sentence?

Dear Professor XYZ,
in the days 5th and 6th July 2008, the 30th Workshop "Title of the workshop" will be held at the University of ZZZ.

No. There are various ways to say this. eg

On the 5th. and 6th. of July 2008,
On July 5th. and 6th., 2008,

Best wishes, Clive
