Actually writing a business letter is an art and it cannot be a cup of everyone’s tea. Neither the pre-built template can help you a lot in this regard.

Hence, in this article we have come up with some effective strategy to start a business letter that will surely impress your reader without any doubt. The following are some of two essential examples that you must apply in your business letter to get an effective result:

  • Focus on the Salutation: 

Salutation is an essential part of any business letter. It is that part of the business letter with the help of which you address the reader. The perfect salutation of a business letter depends on whether you know the reader of the letter or not and how formal is your relation with the reader. Apart from that, it also depends on the type of business letter you are writing. For example, if it is a very formal official business letter and you do not know exactly to whom you have to address or if you are writing the letter to an institution then you should start with the line “To Whom it may concern”. 

Again there may be a situation when you have to write a business letter to someone whose position is known to you but you do not know his or her name. In such a case, your perfect salutation will be “Dear Sir/Madam”. But in case you know his or name and her position you can address as “Dear Mr. X or Dear Ms. X or Dear Dr. Doctor, Dear Prof X, etc.” based on his or her designation.

  • Focus on the situation for which you are writing:

Concentrate on whether you are writing the business letter in reference to the previous letter or you are writing the letter for the first time. If you are writing in reference to the previous contact then you can write, “I/We are writing regarding your inquiry about….”. But if you are writing for the first time then you must write “I/We are writing to inform you that ….”. Again if you want to make a request then you can write “I/We would like to appreciate it if you would…” or you can also write “I/We would be grateful if you could….”.  For giving good news you can write “We are pleased to announce that ….” and for bad news, you can write “We regret to inform you that….”.

This is how you should start your business letter that will surely impress your readers. By the way, if you want to use LinkedIn Strategies to get more leads,sales and customers, you need to check out this post that covers the essential LinkedIn strategies for small businesses.
