Re: Letter Writing for IBPS Exam

Institute of Banking Personnel Selection is an autonomous agency in India, which started its operation in 1975 as Personnel Selection Services.

The Structure of Business letters
Generally speaking, an ordinary business letter mainly consists of seven parts:

(1) Letterhead

(2) Reference and Date Line

(3) Inside Name and Address

(4) Salutation

(5) Letter Body

(6) Complimentary Closure

(7) Signature

Under some Circumstances more parts may be contained:

(8) Attention Line

(9) Subject Line/Caption

(10) Reference Notation

(11) Enclosure/Encl.

(12) Carbon Copy Notation/CC

(13) Postscript/P.S.

Tips For writing a letter:-

-Keep paragraphs short, preferably fewer than five lines. Vary the length of your sentences.

-And don’t be afraid to begin sentences with conjunctions (and, but, or). To emphasize a point, you can use a one – sentence paragraph.

-Think twice before using any adjectives or adverbs. Impress people with your nouns and verbs, not with decorations.

-Use a friendly, conversational tone. Also, keep it deferential.

-Show confidence but not arrogance.

-Avoid unclear phrases like “enclosed please find my resume for your perusal”. Be more creative than that.

-Avoid vague statements. Give specific statements : people will find it both refreshing and easy to understand.
