BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE

PARTS OF A BUSINESS LETTER

A traditional business letter contains the following parts:

1. Reference

In the past letterheads used to have “Our ref” and “Your ref” printed on them. Today this is rarely the case because with modern word processors and printers it is difficult to line up the printing on such pre-printed stationery. Instead, the typist normally inserts the reference on a line. The reference includes the initials of the writer (usually in upper case) and the typist (in upper or lower case, as preferred). A file or departmental reference may also be included.
