Writing a letter. Is it a lost skill or not?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The first time I heard about the components of a letter was in typing class back in 1987. For the record, I learned how to type on those big, really heavy, and black machines called typewriters. After countless hours of typing groups of letters that didn\u2019t make sense, we were taught the parts of a letter. In other words, how to properly typeset a letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

This is how a paragraph of a typical typing exercise looked like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not sure if the motions of loading the paper into the typewriter, begin typing, making a mistake, pulling the paper out and throwing it into the trash hundreds of times before I got it right, made it impossible to forget the parts of a letter or they were just well-taught. Although liquid paper had been invented, it was forbidden; we had to turn-in spotless, wrinkle-free, and zero mistakes typed exercises. Furthermore, these skills were reinforced during my keyboarding class while attending Missouri Military Academy from 1990 to 1993. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2019, I have been teaching a Senior Portfolio class at Texas State University and very few of my students know or vaguely remember the components of such an important document. For my seniors, a well-addressed and typeset cover letter may be their only chance to get an interview appointment. For others, it may be their first client proposal or resignation letter. Although, we may not follow the same format when writing e-mails; there will be a time that everybody would have to rely in this almost forgotten skill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGN<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

First of all, design your letterhead; it must have your logo or name and contact information if you can. Do not use regular paper for letterheads. They should be printed in higher-quality paper. Traditionally, letterheads are printed on 100% cotton paper with matching envelopes; however, there are many great alternatives, My favorite choices for stationery systems\u2014letterhead, envelopes, and business cards\u2014are Neenah\u00ae Paper<\/a> lines, such as Classic Cotton\u00ae, Classic Crest\u00ae, Classic Columns\u00ae, Classic\u00ae Linen, or Royal Sundance\u00ae. Finally, my best advice for choosing the correct paper is to talk to a Graphic Designer<\/a> or your local Paper Distributor\u2014mine is Clampitt Paper<\/a> in San Antonio, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. Logo<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The logo<\/a> is an essential part of your letterhead. It identifies the company or the person, and it comes in different sizes, shapes, and forms. If you do not have a logo yet, design one; if you are not a designer, hire one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. CONTACT<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The contact information on your letterhead should be designed to work cohesively with your style or brand. Typically, it will include a mailing address, phone number, and website. Personal letterheads would include the person\u2019s name, title, and e-mail. Also, Depending on the typeface, the contact information should not exceed 8\u20139 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The content of the letter should be typeset between 10 to 12 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. DATE<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The date the letter will be presented, signed, or mailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. addressee<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Information of who will be receiving the letter\u2014the recipient. Include the recipient\u2019s name, title, company name, and mailing address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Salutation<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Use proper titles and the recipient\u2019s last name followed by a comma or a colon for more formal letters and use proper titles such as Mr., Mrs., Ms., Lt.Col., Maj., etc. Informal letters may be addressed using the recipient\u2018s first name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Body<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Keep the body of the letter short and concise. Organize the content into three main parts: introduction, content, and conclusion. The content is usually divided into three major statements or three main points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. CLOSING<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Write a complimentary close such as: respectfully, sincerely yours, regards, faithfully, appreciatively, etc. End this section with a comma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Signature<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Leave a space for your handwritten signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Name <\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Type the name of the person sending the letter, which may be accompanied by a title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
