Lesson 2
Business Letters
and Emails
Objectives
A business letter is a formal document often sent from one company to another or from a company to its clients, employees, and stakeholders. Business letters are used for professional correspondence between individuals, as well. Although email has taken over as the most common form of correspondence, printed out business letters are still used for important correspondence.
Email is one of the most common business communication tools in recent years. Uses of email in business include communicating with coworkers and customers, scheduling meetings, dispatching automated notifications and sharing newsletters with customers old and new. It’s important to format your email as professionally as you would any other business letter.
