Acknowledgment Letters

Acknowledgment letters are letters written to confirm that one has received a formal document or a letter itself. These letters serve as the receipt and should be sent as soon as the document has been received. In business, such letters play an important role as they indicate that you value the opinion of the sender, which can help in building good will and trust. Some of the instances when acknowledgment letters should be written include responding to a request for a donation, confirming a receipt of orders, or acknowledging a receipt of a package. They may also be written to confirm an appointment, respond to an inquiry about a service, or provide information to clients about their accounts.

Acknowledgment letters should be written in a polite and truthful tone. Make the letters simple and short and avoid adding irrelevant details. Appreciate the reader's request and mention how your company handles such requests. Express your gratitude towards the reader for taking an interest in your company. Be professional and maintain transparency with the reader. For complaints, state what you are going to do about the issue and how long it will take for the issue to be resolved.

Letters to Employees

Letters to employees are letters written to individuals who work for an organization or for another person. If you are an employer or manage a group of employees, the chances are that you will have to write to the employees at some point. It could be an introduction letter to introduce a new product or service to salespersons, a rejection letter to turn down an employee's request for a promotion, or a thank-you letter to thank an employee for his/her hard work. You could also write a termination letter to fire an employee for his/her poor performance. Whatever the reason for your writing, the letter must be formal and professional.

All letters to employees must be addressed with the proper names of the recipients. But if your message is intended for all employees in general, you can address your letter as "To all employees". State the purpose of the letter. Convey your message briefly but clearly, highlighting all the important details. If the issue that you are writing about requires further explanation, make sure to offer your explanation in a way that the recipient can easily understand. Wrap it up with a positive note or a call to action.
