Bread-and-Butter Letters. Whenever you have spent a day or two as a

guest in someone’s house, you must write a letter of thanks to your hostess

within a few days after the visit.

It’s good manners to write thank you for any presents or expressions of

good will.

When someone writes to congratulate you, or to wish you well in your

business, life, work, marriage or to offer his sympathies or the like – write

back.

When someone has taken the trouble to write instead of simply telephoning

or speaking to you, it makes sense to return the favour in kind.

Note : Such thank-you letters can be very short. You may use a printed (or

engraved) thank-you card in business correspondence, but even then, the personal

touch would be better business.

II.

Letters of Reference. If you are asked to give a former employee a reference,

you may write a letter without salutation and complimentary close.

Such letters should contain main facts about the person you write about and

should sound enthusiastic.

Don’t leave out any important qualities and remember that omission implies

demerit in each trait of character not mentioned.

Letters of Recommendation. Letters of recommendation serve to draw

the employer’s attention to the candidate’s suitability for the vacancy.

Letters of Invitations. Invitations to important entertainments are

nearly always specially engraved, so that nothing is written except the name of

the person invited.

Letters of Formal Acceptance or Regret. Formal acceptances or regrets

are always written.

Answers to informal invitations are telephoned more often than not.

In accepting an invitation the day and hour must be repeated. But in declining

an invitation it is not necessary to repeat the hour.
