Welcome Letters

Welcome letters are letters written to politely greet and introduce others to an organization. They could be sent to new students in a school, new employees in a company, attendees of a conference, etc. The primary objective of welcome letters is to boost the recipients' morale and to let them know that they are now an important part of the team. The letters are considered a gesture of courtesy and the loveliest way to show the recipient that you appreciate his/her presence, efforts, or interests in doing something. Welcome letters may also contain some important information that the recipients may not yet be aware of.

When writing welcome letters, your aim is to make the recipients feel "at home". Therefore, you need to be as friendly as possible. Start by officially introducing the organization to the recipient. Politely thank and congratulate him/her for becoming a part of the team. Reassure the recipient that he/she has made the right decision in choosing your organization. Make sure to address the recipient by his/her name. Be brief and include only the necessary information. Close the letter by thanking the recipient again and sign it off with your name and title.

Letters to Guests

Letters to guests are letters written to people who have been invited to visit somewhere or take part in a function. There are numerous instances when people write letters to their guests. For instance, a hotel manager may write an apology letter to a guest to apologize for a booking error or an appreciation letter to show gratitude to the guest for making reservations with the hotel. In other instances, event organizers may send invitation letters to guest speakers to formally invite them to an event and thank-you letters to all guests after attending the event. In all situations, these letters must be addressed properly and sent promptly.

Letters to guests can be formal or informal based on the situation. For appreciation and thank-you letters, the layout can be less formal and casual. However, if you are writing to invite a guest speaker to a function, then the letter must follow the formal letter rules. It must also contain all the information the guest needs to make a decision on whether to accept the invitation or not. Make the letter easy to read, clear, and respectful. Provide your contact details where appropriate. Close with the appropriate call to action.
