Further things to consider when writing denial letters to vendors

Denial Letters

Denial letters are letters sent to reject previous requests made by the recipients politely. These could be from employers rejecting a leave of absence for their employees, home owners rejecting prospective tenants' applications, or lenders rejecting loan applications from customers. They could also be from individuals declining an offer, a gift, or a proposal. Simply put, denial letters can be used in any scenario that needs a formal rejection. Denial letters are unpleasant to write, and most people put them off and let their silence do the talking. That is a missed opportunity (and sometimes rude). Though painful, it is better to give a quick "no" than not giving anything at all.

That said, writing good rejection letters forces you to think about what you really need from other people. Be brief and most importantly, if you do not have a close relationship with the recipient, the entire letter should be just a few lines. Use a pleasant tone that expresses sincere apology. Say thanks for the request and deliver the "rejection" news. Give the reason for rejection and if possible, offer an alternative. End by thanking the recipient for his/her understanding and wish him/her luck in the future.

Letters to Vendors

Letters to vendors are letters written to people or companies offering goods for sale. These letters could be written to inquire information about a product, terminate a contract with a vendor, or to inform a vendor of relocating of business. If you own a company, writing to your vendors is important as it provides you and the recipient with proof that you actually requested something or took action regarding an issue. It is also an effective way to communicate sensitive information that may not be communicated on the phone.

Letters to vendors must be written in the standard business letter format and should use an official letterhead. Start the letter with a statement that informs the recipient of the purpose of your letter. Explain the letter in details providing all the important information. For instance, if you are writing to terminate your contract with the recipient, mention the date when you want to effect the change. However, if your letter is to inform the recipient of your business relocation, you should provide the new business location and address. Be brief and use a professional tone. Finish on a positive tone and sign the letter with your full name.
