Lesson 9.Business correspondence Business correspondence means the exchange of information in a written format for the process of business activities. Business correspondence can take place between organizations, within organizations or between the customers and the organization. The correspondence refers to the written communication between persons. Hence oral communication or face to face communication is not a business correspondence. Correspondence is an essential part of business. In spite of telephone, telex, telegraphic and faximile communication the writing of letters continues; in fact most telephoned and telegraphed communications have to be confirmed in writing. Every letter no matter what kind it is, should be laconic, precise, to the point, and positive. Letters are written on various occasions and on various subject matters. Many business letters are connected with establishing business relations, doing business and various miscellaneous questions.
