According to Brian Hill (2017) Learning and honing business writing

skills can have a positive impact on an individual’s career advancement. Effective

channels of communication make an organization run smoothly. Professional quality

writing being sent through these channels improves productivity and the ability of all

functional areas to work together, particularly in an increasingly global workplace where

collaboration is the norm. In relation to Franklin Covey (1999) that writing for a business

audience is usually quite different than writing in the humanities, social sciences, or other

academic disciplines. Business writing strives to be crisp and succinct rather than

evocative or creative; it stresses specificity and accuracy. This distinction does not make

business writing superior or inferior to other styles. Rather, it reflects the unique purpose

and considerations involved when writing in a business context.

Baraceros stated that business is an act of buying and selling. Any written

report done on this commercial act inside or outside the place of business becomes

technical written work called a Business report. In reference to Baraceros’ work, Leham

(2005) further stated that unlike other types of writing that are open to all kinds of

expressions business-letter writing has its own set of special words or expressions

exclusively for buying and selling acts (204).

Based on, Porter (1980), business strategy is a way by which a business

organization positions itself within its industry through adopting one of the following

generic strategies: cost leadership, differentiation, and focus. An actual business letter

shows commitment because the author cared enough about the matter at hand to sit down

and put ink to paper. Letters demonstrate a level of professionalism and class. They also

provide a written record of what has transpired that both parties can file away.
 Sometimes, the events that letters mark are momentous enough for a company that they

become treasured mementos.
