Write a review paper on the Art and DesignFirst Letter Assignment (Letter of Introduction) The first letter is to be a letter in which you pretend to apply for admission to the class. It will be similar to a job application letter. This letter will also help you to become acquainted with the standard letter form. Business letters should have the following traits: – be focused on one idea or purpose – have a beginning , middle and an end – in other words an introductory paragraph, and middle paragraph that explains or gives reasons, and a courteous closing paragraph. – include the eight letter parts discussed in class – have a signature To convince me you should be included in class, you should focus on a particular theme. You could either explain how you are fully capable of succeeding or how you have a particular need for the class because of your goals. Since a letter you concentrate on one main idea, it is best to focus on one or the other, not both. Your second paragraph should have specific details “proving” your point with which you started the letter ( a claim about your qualifications or your need). Textbook Essentials of business communication 10ed Pay attention, too, to the appearance of your letter. It should be balanced on the page, not too much white space on the top or bottom. Use the example letters on page 457 and 458 as a rough, general guide for a letter of application. However, do not copy portions of it ! It is just a guide. (NOTE: The example letter on page 457 is a bit too long – it isn’t a perfect model, but it does show you how it should look and it avoids some typical problems of having an overabundance of “I” and “me.”)
