Welcome
As we move on through the course we are now moving from internal communication documents to external documents. I can not emphasize how important a letter is, as it needs to represent the writer in a professional manner.

Professional image
A letter that is not polished can affect your professional reputation. A letter that is not effective will not achieve the results you want.
CM1 Module 6
Successful career
I think an effective letter is one of the most important tools we will have for a successful career. So, I encourage each of you to focus on this module, not for the sake of passing a final exam, but for the sake of benefiting your career!
CM1 Module 6
Level of Difficulty
Again, many students will have an easy time to learn how to technically put a letter together, but may struggle a bit with what to say when. And there are probably still some of you that have concerns with sentence structure.
CM1 Module 6
2009-2010
CM1 Module 6
3 areas of focus
The 3 areas that we need to focus on are: 1. Letter structure (salutation line, date, closing, heading, etc) 2. Persuasive, effective, positive and organized (what to say when, how to say it positively, & buffers) 3. Grammar/spelling (every sentence counts)

Including consideration of precise of content, target audience, (you approach), persuasiveness, tone, clarity, and conciseness. Your answer will also be evaluated on your use of correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and conventional formatting.
CM1 Module 6
34
Remember to be specific and to develop your ideas. Add whatever plausible details you need to write your letter.
CM1 Module 6
35
Marking Guidelines
Now, remember that we will be discussing the new holistic marking in the exam review lecture, but I still want us to look at the MARKS allocated in the past exams. WHY?? Because the percentage of allocation of marks is still similar.

Marker comments
Students performed at a satisfactory level on this question. Some students, however, wrote a memo instead of the required letter. In the best responses, students used correct letter conventions, and maintained a professional tone in spite of the fact that the claim was arguable.
CM1 Module 6
40
For the letter to be successful as a business document, the writer needed to create strong ethical and logical appeals, present the criticisms constructively, and maintain a positive tone. It was also important for the student to make it clear that the complainant had tried to address the difficulties both at the theatre and afterward.
CM1 Module 6
41
Audience response
Pointing to the mutually successful past relationship and the financial benefit to continuing the relationship would also have been an effective way to evoke the desired response in the audience.
CM1 Module 6
42
2009-2010
CM1 Module 6
14
A notable area for improvement is in the length of the letters. Letters and memos should be as concise as possible while still presenting all the necessary details.
CM1 Module 6
43
There is no prescribed length for letters and memos, but the numerous examples throughout the module should provide a sense of the average length of responses.
CM1 Module 6
44
Spacing conventions
Another area for improvement is spacing conventions. Students must remember to single-space the text within the paragraphs of letters and to doublespace between paragraphs.

Topic 6.1
Letter Conventions
First, well learn the structure of letters. Just like we learned how to format a balance sheet we can learn how to format a letter. Then, we will go back and learn what to say and how to organize our letters.
CM1 Module 6

Letter styles
Lets turn to Exhibit 6-1 and 6-2 of the module first. You will see that there are two types of letters: a) b) Full Block Modified Block Exhibit 6-1 Exhibit 6-2
CM1 Module 6
52
Subject line
Notice on Exhibit 6-2 the Subject line is before Dear Mrs. Kahn and on Exhibit 6-1 Dear Mr. OHara is before the subject line. The reason for this is that it is most acceptable to place the subject line either above or below the salutation line.
CM1 Module 6
53
I recommend that students use the full block letter style whenever possible. This is my personal preference, but the reason for this is that it is much easier to remember where to place the items, and less likely that you will receive deductions for mixing up the styles this way.
CM1 Module 6
54
2009-2010
CM1 Module 6
18
For instance, if you use the modified block and forget to put the date on the right side of the page, then marks are deducted for mixing up the styles.
CM1 Module 6
55
My experience in business is that the full block is most often used, because it is easier to format. Although I recommend that students use the full block, the choice is yours to use either style.
CM1 Module 6
56
Pick a style, and work with it until you are very comfortable with the style. I have never seen on an exam that the directions indicate which style to use. On the exam, you will be able to pick the style you want.
CM1 Module 6

Elements of letters
On Exhibit 6-1 & 6-2 you will notice in bold the numbers 1 15 down the page. These items are the elements of letters. A detailed description of each can be found in Topic 6.1. It is very important that you read through each item in detail.
CM1 Module 6
58
Elements of letters
Missing any of these items, or incorrectly placing them will result in deductions on the exam, as well as a letter that may not look as professional as it should. Before I highlight many of the important points, lets quickly look at the note at the end of Topic 6.1.
CM1 Module 6
59
Address lines
It was once traditional to place commas after each line of an address. Current business practice omits this punctuation. In addition, the practice of placing a comma between the city and province is also evolving. Some organizations retain the comma and others omit the comma. Both are acceptable.
. CM1 Module 6 Writing effective business letters 60
2009-2010
CM1 Module 6

Address lines
Canada Post encourages writers to use two-letter abbreviations for provinces and states. Use capital letters in the abbreviation, no periods, and ensure that two spaces follow after the province but before the postal code.
CM1 Module 6
61
Address lines
This standardized approach helps Canada Posts equipment to scan your envelopes electronically. For updates and changes in conventions for addressing letters, consult Canada Posts website.
CM1 Module 6
62
Letter conventions
On the followings screens the important points from Topic 6.1 are reviewed.
Make sure you take the time to read through the points in detail. You may want to print Topic 6.1, read it carefully, and highlight the important points.
CM1 Module 6
63
2009-2010
CM1 Module 6
21
1. Letterhead
On the exam, you will have to write in the company name and address at the top of the page.
CM1 Module 6
64
2. Date
Dont forget to spell out the month, and include the year.
CM1 Module 6
65
3. Recipients address
This should be exactly the same as the address on the envelope. The examiner has indicated the correct format of the city, province and postal code is important. Include the recipients name, title and department if applicable.
CM1 Module 6
66
2009-2010
CM1 Module 6
22
4. Subject line
The entire line should be in bold (dark felt pen on the exam!) and can be before or after the salutation. Dont forget that the subject line is not a sentence, and should not have a period at the end.
. CM1 Module 6 Writing effective business letters 67
5. Salutation
It is always more professional to use a name in the salutation line. Phone and get the name if you dont have it. Dont send a letter to the Accounting Department. Do NOT use the term Mrs. unless you know the woman uses it in preference to anything else.
CM1 Module 6
68
5. Salutation continued
Notice there is a colon ( : ) at the end of your salutation, not a comma or any other punctuation that you chose to invent. Marks are deducted on the exam for not using the colon.
CM1 Module 6
69
2009-2010
CM1 Module 6

7. Complimentary closing
A comma is used at the end of the complimentary closing. Again, marks will be deducted for inventing other punctuation to go here.
CM1 Module 6
70
CM1 Module 6

12.
Enclosure notation
When you reference that you are enclosing certain information, you must include an enclosure notation. When you enclose material, always mention it in the body of your letter.

cc:
Cc stands for carbon copy, and bcc stands for blind carbon copy. (Bcc wont appear on the original, or it wont be blind! The cc and the bcc are also used for email messages. Bcc is used quite often used in email.
CM1 Module 6
73
As you can now see there are many things to remember! The best way to remember is to practice writing out letters over and over. Carefully review every example in Module 6.

Good letters
Good letters are the result of a number of related skills and attitudes, such as the following:
CM1 Module 6
78
2009-2010
CM1 Module 6
26
Being clear in your objectives Anticipating your audiences needs Organizing for clarity Stressing the positive and constructive Using language effectively Revising carefully

Improving letters
I wont read to you the module information, but carefully go through example 6-1, where an example of a poor letter is shown. Also, there is a list of the areas of improvement. Make sure you carefully understand why each improvement was needed and important. Example 6-2 shows the revised letter.
CM1 Module 6
80
Readers needs
I would suggest reading through Topic 6.2 a couple of times to make sure you have everything. For instance in the paragraph before organize letters for clarity, an explanation is given for specifically how to keep your readers needs in mind.
CM1 Module 6
81
2009-2010
CM1 Module 6
27
Effectively communicate
By being as specific as possible, the reader will not have to refer back to previous correspondence. Keeping the readers needs in mind is one of the key elements for effective communication.
CM1 Module 6
82
Example 6-3 is an example of using the PMR & C method for letters. Following the PMRC recommendation will result in better organization for your letter.

Topic 6.3
CM1 Module 6
84
2009-2010
CM1 Module 6
28
When you are talking to someone you can affect how they respond to what you are saying by your tone. If you smile as you speak, and speak with a kind voice, they will sense kindness.
CM1 Module 6
85
Positive tone
But, you do not have that physical tone setting available when you send a letter, so you must ensure that your letter itself sends a positive tone. (Not all letters will need to be sending kindness, but they should send a positive tone.)
CM1 Module 6
86
Readers reaction
You will need to carefully evaluate your letter as to how the reader will react. A few thoughts:
CM1 Module 6
87
2009-2010
CM1 Module 6
29
How will they react to the language I have chosen? Will they look at my document as a letter that meets their needs and shows that I value both them and their time? Will they react constructively or with hostility?
CM1 Module 6
88
Professional image
Most of all, remember your letter must convey your professional image.
CM1 Module 6
89
Positively speaking!
You can say anything positively. Sometimes you have to use the sandwich approach that is start with something positive, say what needs to be improved (notice I didnt say what is wrong) and then finish with something positive.
CM1 Module 6
90
2009-2010

Exhibit 6-3 is a checklist for keeping a positive tone. Make sure that you become very familiar with this checklist.

Use the you approach, maintaining a personal touch. Be as courteous and sincere as possible. Dont argue with your reader. Supply clarifying information. Avoid using words that have subtly vague or negative connotations. Dont make your letter too short.

Make sure that you use words the reader will understand and carefully check over your letter.

You need to pull together everything that you have learned in Modules 1 4 for writing, organizing and proof reading your letter.
CM1 Module 6

On the next page I have listed a few guidelines for letters and memos. This should is just a few different ideas for organizing. I usually spend a few moments in class going over it. There is a separate handout for this in the handout document.
CM1 Module 6
95
Introduction
Identify the subject of the letter or memo. Be explicit; relate the topic to your readers interests and concerns. Explain why youre writing, if necessary. For example, you might be writing at someone elses request or in response to an earlier communication.

33
Conclusion
The conclusion of a letter or memo should give the reader a sense of closure. The type of conclusion you write depends on the document as a whole. Here are some possibilities:
CM1 Module 6
100
A letter should end with a conventional courteous closing. You can suggest a follow-up to your letter or memo: what you want the reader to do or what you will do. For long documents, its usually a good idea to summarize your main ideas in the conclusion.
CM1 Module 6
101
Resume hints
Have separate letter for every position you are applying for. Have a standard letter for your cover letter, but customize for every position you are applying for. Keep a folder where you keep copies of all of your resume cover letters. You may have to refer back to previous letters to come up with ideas for the next letter.

One resource, as indicated in topic 6.4 is the Public Practice Manual. The PPM contains a number of useful letter templates for review engagements and many other common situations.

You can also purchase a book with sample business letters from your local bookstore.

Copies of letters
I have also worked with people who keep a copy of every letter they send in a binder, in date order (as well as a copy in the relevant file). That way, if you remember a similar letter a month ago, you can quickly find it. And, with todays modern technology, you can cut and paste from one letter and create your next letter.

You may have to read through topic 6.4 several times to digest all of the important and useful information in this section. I wont just read this section to you, but I do want to repeat that this information is invaluable for the exam.

A hint:
If you send a request letter to a non-profit society, because you want a brochure, it would be appropriate to include a self-addressed envelope. But, stop and think, if you are sending a request to a company that will be selling you something, do you think you need to include the self-addressed envelope?

OUTLINE
You need to sit down and write this letter from scratch. That means plan, using the PMRC method. Make an outline for your letter of what you should have in each section, and each paragraph. The outline you do for your report and include with your letter is a completely different outline.
CM1 Module 6

OUTLINE
I think it is very beneficial to hand write out your outline and then hand write out your letter. This is excellent practice for the exam. Then type it in and correct all errors. If your only practice is typing letters into the computer, handwriting will come as a shock when you write the exam!
