INTRODUCTION
A business letter is usually a letter from one company to another, or between such organizations and their customers, clients and other external parties.
Business letters can have many types of contents.
A business letter is sometimes useful because it produces a permanent written record, and may be taken more seriously by the recipient than other forms of communication.
