Wednesday 10th March 2010

On this day, we were taught how to write business letters professionally. The speakers introduced us to various types of business letters including cover letters, follow-up letters, and thank you letters.

We were given tasks after lunch to write an enquiry letter to each group seeking sponsorship. The group that received the enquiry letters were then required to reply with a letter stating whether the sponsorship was approved or vice versa.

Based on the activity, we were able to identify the types of letters, grammatical errors, and common mistakes found in most letters. Other than that, we gained the knowledge on how to write persuasive letters with the help of the 2 speakers.
