1. Importance of a Good Business Letter
The success of any modern business, to a large extent, depends on the use of business letters. Someone has rightly said: “A letter in business is what medicine is to a patient.” Good Letters are little ambassadors that traverse every nook and corner of the present day commercial world, They constitute the biggest source of the active liaison that is necessary concomitant for procuring business.
In the words of Mr. Herbert N. Casson: ” A good letter is a master key that opens locked doors.” It opens markets. It opens the way for your goods or services. It reflects the real character of your firm.
