Order Letter and Inquiry Letter

Order Letter

Otherwise known as an order letter, a letter of order is a document that confirms the details of a purchase of goods or services from one party to another. It usually includes more information about what you are ordering, like quantity, model number, or color, the payment terms, and the matter in which the products are to be shipped. When the recipient receives this letter, they will process the order and send the merchandise.

·         If you are writing the letter to place order make sure you do not make any mistakes

·         Avoid making spelling and grammar errors

·         Do not deviate mid way from the topic while writing the letter

·         Write the letter in a polite and apt manner

Dear Mrs. Louis

I am writing this letter to place an order for goods for our ongoing project. Actually we had ordered enough goods for our work, however the quantitly seems very less now and hence we require more goods for our work to be completed soon. The attached list of goods with this letter will tell you precisely our requirement of goods. Hope you send it as soon as possible so that our work can continue without any halt.

Hoping to receive the said order soon without any delay, also the payment for the same would be done soon.

Thanking you,

Yours Truly,

Brillian Bagastama

Inquiry Letter

An inquiry letter is similar to a cover letter. The big difference is you send it uninvited (or as a cold contact) to an employer.

Use an inquiry letter to ask about working for an employer who has not advertised a job opening. In the letter, match your qualifications to their needs and show your interest in, and knowledge of the employer.

To find out the needs of an employer, use employment advertisements, position descriptions, phone conversations, and informational interviews.
