Business Letter Instructions
Go To:
Computer Class Syllabus
- Open a new document. You will use the “Professional Letter” Template which you open by first going to “File” then “New”
- Click on the “Letters & Faxes” tab,
- Then
double-click the “Professional Letter” icon:
- Click on each area that requires your input in turn to type in the unique information you need that will turn this template into your own letter.
· For example, you can enter the name of the person you’re sending the letter to: select Sir or Madam and replace it with a name (like Dear Mr. Snarf)
· Enter the recipient’s name and address by clicking where it says “. Use “Mr.” Or “Ms.” Before the name, it’s good to be polite!
· Type your fictional company address where it says to, near the top.
· Type your fictional company’s name where it says to, but note that you have to Double-Click, because that item is in a text box:
· Replace the closing (Sincerely,) with “Respectfully,” by Right-Clicking on “Sincerely” and choosing “Respectfully”
- Finish the canned stuff: Your name and job title.
- Now just type the body of your letter in the place it tells you to (see example above, where it says “Type your letter here…”)
· Type that your company has a new product
· It should be very useful to the recipient’s company
· It’s not going to be expensive to buy or maintain
· It won’t be obsolete for several years
- After the teacher checks the letter at your computer, print up this one page letter, sign it, and put it in your Computer Applications Class folder.
