a) To ask for and give a reply to an inquiry, offer, order, or complaint.
b) To keep a record of all the important facts for ready reference. The language of old - style business letters is reader. A confused and over long letter may be put aside until someone explains its meaning, and this may mean delays. Since a letter is written for the reader, the language of modern business letters is simple, clear and direct. The writer states the purpose of his letter briefly, and the letter is short and friendly. Such letters help the writer as much as the reader, and will probably mean an earlier reply.
Here are two letters. One is about an inquiry and tile other is the reply to it. Both of them are simple and clear.
