CLOSING
Guidelines for Closing:
If you want your reader to act as you desire, ask for action explicitly
(unmistakably ) and clearly.
Make action easy by giving phone numbers or by sending stamped
envelope.
The closing note should be positive. Negative ending weakens your
presentation.
Show friendly attitude ( emotion ) to enhance ( build up ) the good willof the firm, and to improve the opportunity of getting desired
response.

CLOSING
Guidelines for Closing:
If necessary include a final blow line to strengthen ( maintain ) your
message. You may enclose a booklet, pamphlet to give more
details.
On certain occasions you may wish to connote ( show ) a personal
touch.
Dont write worn out and out dated terms, such as enclosedherewith, as soon as possible, I remain, obediently, and the likes.
These expressions create monotony ( repetitiveness ) and do not
leave pleasant ( satisfying ) impression on the reader.
