Dear ,
Check with a sample FAX
An
order letter, also known as a purchase order or PO, is the first letter
of a specific purchase. The objective is to provide the vendor with
detailed instructions for completing an order. It also serves as a legal
record of the transaction and should be written with care.
1. Make you instructions clear and accurate. 2. Do not write unnecessary information. Make sure you say when
you expect delivery and how you are going to pay. 3. First, write a list of points you want to include in your
letter. 4. Put the points in order and join them with correct linking
expressions. Use paragraphs to make your letter clear and easy to read. 5. Check the letter and make any changes you think necessary (in
vocabulary, grammar, content, spelling, sentence structure and
punctuation). Imagine you are receiving the letter. Are the instructions
clear? Have you used formal or informal language? 6. Finally, check the opening and concluding paragraphs. The
opening paragraph should explain why you have written the letter. The
concluding paragraph should clearly say what action you expect from the
person who receives the letter.
