Whether you are writing to a big business as a consumer for their products or sending a note to the marketing department as a CEO of the company, your writing skills  play a vital role or to be more exact act like an enzyme to quicken the action process.

The first and foremost step in writing effective business letters is to give the glimpse of professionalism in every chosen word and sentence of that written text. Don’t use slang and avoid abbreviations as much as possible. Don’t create run-on sentences and try to be as much knowledgeable as you can with your message.

While writing business letters you must type or print the contents through a computer or word processor but if they are not accessible, you can also hand-write your letters but make sure that you’re writing neatly and besides you other can also understand it. For your business letters no matter whether hand-written or printed, you must always use a sharp white paper.

Don’t beat about the bush if you are writing to a company or other business, be precise and be as specific as you can. You must do proper homework and know whom your letter to be addressed. You can know about the things like that on Web or by making a call and asking directly. It‘s not always possible to find the name of the addressed one but it makes a hell of difference if you find the name. It’s always sounds better to address a particular person instead of using “Dear Sir or Madam” or “To Whom it May Concern”. “To Whom It May Concern” was acceptable once but now it’s considered dated and a sign of poor taste.

Before sending your business letters off, you must run it through spell Check at least once. Then check your letters to avoid homonyms as most of the spell checkers don’t have the ability to pick up correctly spelled word with wrong use. You must also sort out those words and phrases that look out of place and awkward.

Besides these important steps, the most important thing in effective business communication is your personal style and there is no such guide as can tell you the wrong and right ways about personal writing style. But if these suggestions are applied and given a place in writing practice, you can boost your business as well as personal writing skills.
