Answer to Question 2

Business letters are necessary when

a permanent record is needed. For example, when a company enters into an agreement with another company, business letters introduce the agreement and record decisions and points of understanding.

information is confidential. For example, when you must send a letter of recommendation that may contain confidential information, a business letter is preferred over other channels.

formality is required. For example, when you have to deliver bad news to a client, business letters carry the nonverbal message that the writer considered the message to be significant.

a persuasive, well-considered message is needed. For example, direct mail letters remain a powerful tool to promote services and products to customers and potential customers.
