BAHASA INGGRIS BISNIS #3


                                                                       Request Letter

A request letter asks for information or material from a particular person or entity. The thing you want to ask there is absolutely no limit. You are free to ask and express what you want in the letter.

In fact, you should give as much attention to this letter as you pay attention to the other letters. Well-written letters will have a greater chance of succeeding than a randomly written letter.

In most cases, your request will get more attention if you include also an envelope for your reply letter, stamped and clearly written your name and address. The following authors give examples of the request letter.
 

The form of letter writing or letter format can be used in different styles :
1)   Full Block Type
full block type letters that began writing from the left margin. that is to say, from the date, the closing word to the attachment written at the bottom of the writing starting from the left.
2)   Semi Block Style
actually the same as the form of a straight letter, the difference lies in writing the contents of the letter and each new paragraph menjoraok (entry into). in practice, the letter with this form is widely used by the company.
3)   Indented Style
the writing of the address on the letter is uneven or shaped like a ladder, and every new paragraph jutted into.

Dear Ms. Putri

In our telephone conversation yesterday, we discussed plans to graduation at your conference center. I would like to confirm those plans.

The graduation date is April 19, 2018. The hour is 08:00 A.M until 11:00 A.M for the first session, and at 13:00 A.M to 15:00 P.M for the second session. two hundred and twenty people will be present. We'll need two rooms: one big room and one smaller break-out room.
                  
As we discussed, we need speakers in large rooms as well as computer projection systems. In every break-out room, we need four tables, and a monitor. I need two hundred snacks to share with the graduates and 20 box lunches.

I also appreciate receiving the projected fee for the sole meeting. Can you send me your cost projection on Monday, November 27th? I will give the last confirmation of our reservation.

I would like to thank you for your help in planning our graduation. I look forward to meeting you next week when I come to see your facilities.


Regards,

Rahmatia Kamala
