Starting to Write

Politely thank the buyer or client for their custom.

Briefly outline the details of the transaction, such as the item model name, color etc, the name of the buyer or client, their address if relevant, and the medium of payment. This is essentially a summary of the order to reassure the recipient that everything is going smoothly.

Provide contact information so the recipient can get in touch if there’s a problem.

An “Order” is an expense for the person placing the order and an income for the one getting it. But this is not all. The company that bags the order has to fulfill lot of commitments to ensure that it has a satisfied customer, which can be an individual or another company. Timely delivery of the order, quality of delivery and after sale service – are all part and parcel of getting an order.

An Order Letter is the one that is written by the person/company placing the request of purchase from another company. This letter comes into action only when a detailed study of the desired product has been done in the market and based on promised service, quality and price of the product, a decision for a purchase has been made.

An Order Letter should be drafted very carefully as it needs to pen down all the terms and conditions of the purchase for the benefit of both involved parties. It should have details such as product specifications, quantities, price agreed upon, delivery date, late delivery clauses, etc. It should be addressed to the person responsible for the execution of the order with a copy to the head of department. Since it is totally an official letter it should be typed.

A letter of request

A request is a letter asking the recipient to do something he or she does not have to do, may not have time to do, or may not want to do. Therefore, pay particular attention to the structure given for each letter; these are time-tested formulas for persuasive writing that have been proven to work.

A letter is an ideal medium for requesting a favor. Making the request in writing allows the other person to think it over in the privacy of her own home or office, without the pressure of you standing there waiting for an answer, or the potential for embarrassment (for both of you) if you are turned down.articular attention to the structure given for each letter; these are time-tested formulas for persua

• Ask politely. Do not demand or threaten.

• Show the reader what’s in it for her. Prove your case.

• Say exactly what you hope she will do for you.

When you want somebody to do something for you, it's important that you ask them in the right way. This is really important if you are sending a formal business or professional email. Because if you don't, they'll probably say no.
