| Study - Vocabulary | |||
|
You already know how important it is to speak good English in an international working environment. If you work for a company which does business abroad, you probably read and write a lot of English, too. Writing, just like speaking, is communication. In our letters and emails we need to express many things: authority, gratitude, dissatisfaction, etc. Expressing ourselves well and with the correct level of formality is a skill. Do you have that skill? Ask yourself these questions: Do you present yourself in a professional manner when you write? What image do you give to the people who read your letters and emails?
When the recipient's name is unknown to you: Dear Sir ... Yours faithfully Dear Madam ... Yours faithfully Dear Sir or Madam ... Yours faithfully When you know the recipient's name: Dear Mr Hanson ... Yours sincerely Dear Mrs Hanson ... Yours sincerely Dear Miss Hanson ... Yours sincerely Dear Ms Hanson ... Yours sincerely When addressing a good friend or colleague: Dear Jack ... Best wishes / Best regards Addressing whole departments: Dear Sirs ... Yours faithfully
