Do you know the writing requirements of traditional business letters? Does it also apply to e-commerce letters?

Both traditional methods and so-called electronic methods have certain formats and requirements.

Business letters refer to letters and telecommunication documents used to transmit information, deal with business affairs, contact and communicate in daily business dealings. Commonly used business letters mainly include negotiation letter, inquiry letter, reply letter, request letter, notification letter and contact letter.

Business letter writing should pay attention to the following standards:

(1) accurate. The content of a business letter is directly related to the interests of both parties, so it is necessary to express the meaning completely and accurately and punctuate it accurately to avoid unnecessary trouble.

(2) simplicity. On the premise of accuracy and thoughtfulness, express your true meaning with the least number of words, and don't procrastinate.

(3) concrete. The matters to be confessed in the letter must be specific and clear, especially the contents that need the other party's reply or will have an impact on the relationship between the two parties, and must not be vague.

(4) politeness. Mastering polite and decent written expressions is conducive to maintaining good relations between the two sides.

(5) understanding. Learn to put yourself in each other's shoes and think from each other's standpoint. This is easy to gain the recognition of the other party and is conducive to effective communication between the two parties.
