It's time to do a business letter!

When the time comes for us to work, we will most probably be doing a lot of business letters. I searched for some tips on writing a good business letter and I found some tips I never heard before. 

One of those is the difference between the use of "Yours faithfully" and "Yours sincerely".
When the recipient name is unknown, we use "Yours faithfully" while we use "Yours sincerely" when we know the recipient's name.

  1. Thank you for this interesting post. It's quite advanced, but it still is a help. Now I know the proper usage of "Yours Faithfully" and "Yours Sincerely", because before, whenever I am writing business letters, or even simple ones, I just use whatever my mind tells me. :)

  4. Thanks for the tips. They are helpful. I noticed some grammatical errors in this sentence, " I searched for some tips on writing a good business letter and I found some tips I never heard before." Here is my version: "I searched some tips on writing a good business letter, and I found some tips that/which I have never heard before."
