Excerpt from Correct Business Letter Writing and Buisness English The business man and the commercial student are vitally interested in the subject of Correct Letter-Writing, not only because one's business success is facilitated by the ability to write correctly, but because the written word bears the impress of the education and culture of the writer. Every progressive, intelligent person is concerned about his English, for just as his deportment evidences his breeding, in a like manner, his letter betokens either his illiteracy or his culture. The first essential in the writing of business letters is an understanding of correct usage as applied to both form and construction. In this text, the author has aimed to set forth the requisites of correct business letter-writing by covering, in the main, the following subjects: Correct models of the Heading, the Introduction, and the Conclusion of letters; Paragraphing; Capitalization; Abbreviations (a complete alphabetic list); Business Usage as applied to special forms of diction.
