Inquiry Letter
Inquiry
Letter is a letter written to request information and/or ascertain
its authenticity. A letter of inquiry deals with various matters
like job vacancies, funding, grants, scholarships, projects, sales,
pre-proposals and others. The term is common in various business
setups as it implies fund request or pre-proposal information. Owing
to this usage, the term may be considered exclusive to these setups
alone. But that is not the case, to this effect the below definition
offers a justified meaning.
Inquiry
Letter Definition
A
document requesting information sent on behalf of an individual or
an organisation for their own respective purposes, which can be
mutually beneficial to the recipient and the sender.
The
term ‘Inquiry’ is same as ‘Enquiry’. The former is more
commonly used in U.S. and the latter one is more common in U.K.
There are some other terms which represent the letters; these are
Letter of Intent, Letter of Interest, Query letter, Prospecting
Letter, Pre-proposal Letter and Concept Paper. The term ‘Cover
Letter’, ‘Business Letter’, ‘Request Letter’ and ‘Sales
Letter’ is also applied to an inquiry letter especially when the
objective is same as that of letter for inquiry.
A
letter of inquiry serves to facilitate business operations and
satisfaction of the sender. Inquiry letters remove any
misunderstanding and are time savers, especially when two parties
want to reach an understanding. The communication towards this
effect resolves the issue without any delay. With relation to it
being a ‘Pre-proposal letter’, the inquiry letter is also termed
as a ‘Condensed Version of a Proposal’. It is the outcome of the
purpose of the letter which highlights the points of a proposal
instead of a full-fledged proposal.
On
an individual’s basis, these letters are sent to companies that
are willing to hire but haven't advertised job openings. It can also
be a letter addressed to editor in-charge of a publication proposing
certain literary work. It can be a letter from a student who is
vying for a seat in a college or a business that provides an
internship. So, the objective of an enquiry letter is same but its
projections and audiences are different. Same goes for its method of
delivery, it can be sent via paper mail or electronic mail.

Complaint
Letter
A
Complaint Letter is a type of letter written to address any type
wrong doing, offence, grievance, resentment arising out of a
product, service etc. Complaint Letters are used to raise your
concerns about unfair things and seek a productive outcome. They are
also used to vent out your pent up emotions arising out of your
suffering or bad experience. It is a fundamental right and duty of a
citizen to seek justice arising out of any injustice, which is
initiated by a Complaint. Complaint letters then, become your First
Step towards your Consumer Rights. They inspire other hassled
consumers, influence the concerned authorities towards taking proper
action and make the defaulters more liable, responsible and
responsive. This is because unresponsive behaviour of the offender
is liable to a Punishable Court Proceeding or an Expensive Lawsuit.
Writing
complaints letters is an essential responsibility of the victim
whilst seeking positive outcomes. Complaint Letter writing is not
only a pre-warning for the offender but also a chance for them to
rectify their act in time. These letters are not just meant for
defective products, service they can also be written towards any
injustice happening in the society, like ‘Smoking in Public’,
‘Misuse of Water by any Person or an Organisation’ and any issue
happening in society which needs to be addressed.
Anyone
can complaint through letter if there is a legitimate reason. Anyone
can write a letter to the administration regarding the pollution,
water supply, traffic problems, shortage of electricity etc. You
don’t need to be a lawyers or an influential person. All you need
to do is to learn to write a complaint letter in an appropriate
manner with all the relevant information included. In the matter
contained here, you will get all the tips to write a complaint
letter.
Types
of Complaint Letters
Complaint
letters are of different types and different reasons and depending
upon that they can be categorised accordingly.
Depending
on the level of an organisation or an individual these can be:
1.
Personal Complaint Letters - When a letter is written at a personal
level by an individual it is called as Personal Complaint Letter.
These are written by consumers to get refund, replace a product etc.
These are also written for grievances’ regarding a service
or any issue affecting the individual or society at large.
2.
Professional Complaint Letters - When a letter is written on behalf
of an organisation it is called known as Professional Complaint
Letter. These letters have the backing of an organisation and are
mostly related to professional items and services.

June

Dear
Sir/Madam,
I
am writing today to complain of the poor service I received from
your company on June 12, 2008. I was visited by a representative of
That Awful Company, Mr. Madman, at my home on that day.
Mr.
Madman was one hour late for his appointment and offered nothing by
way of apology when he arrived at noon. Your representative did not
remove his muddy shoes upon entering my house, and consequently left
a trail of dirt in the hallway. Mr. Madman then proceeded to present
a range of products to me that I had specifically told his assistant
by telephone I was not interested in. I repeatedly tried to ask your
representative about the products that were of interest to me, but
he refused to deal with my questions. We ended our meeting after 25
minutes without either of us having accomplished anything.
I
am most annoyed that I wasted a morning (and half a day's vacation)
waiting for Mr. Madman to show up. My impression of That Awful
Company has been tarnished, and I am now concerned about how my
existing business is being managed by your firm. Furthermore, Mr.
Madman's inability to remove his muddy shoes has meant that I have
had to engage the services, and incur the expense, of a professional
carpet cleaner.
I
trust this is not the way That Awful Company wishes to conduct
business with valued customers—I have been with you since the
company was founded and have never encountered such treatment
before. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss matters further
and to learn of how you propose to prevent a similar situation from
recurring. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours
faithfully,
V.

Application
Letter
Application
Letter is a letter written for a variety of purposes in our day to
day activities which can be domestic or professional. It is a
liability conferred upon the sender by an authority. In such a
liability the sender is expected to explain, inform/pre-inform the
authoritative receiver about particular ongoing/upcoming activities,
events, process or procedures. It is also a written request when
written for assistance, admission, employment, favour, information,
permission, service etc. A letter of application is also an
accompanying document as and when required. When it does so it is
known as Cover Letter. An application letter is largely a formal
type of letter as it follows a predefined format which is applicable
to most type of application letters.
Types
of Application Letters
- Application letter for teachers
- Application letter resume
- Bursary application letter / application for grant
- Business application letter
- Internship application letter / application letter for internship
- Job application letter / application letter for job
- Leave application letter
- Loan application letter
- School application letter
- Scholarship application letter / application letter for scholarship
- Visa application letter
Often
you will come across information that limits the meaning of
application letter to that of just a cover letter. But the
multipurpose role of application letter makes it meaning broad and
in that sense it also a request letter and an inquiry letter. Varied
practices across the globe and the prominence of same type of
information related to application letter does not let it come
across as any other type of letter. For most of us, the internet is
the final or ultimate source of information. Search for the term
‘Application Letter’ on the internet and you will come across
information which is indecisive.
Many
confirm letter of application as same as a cover letter while some
disagree. But the truth is mentioned in the above paragraph. To
confine application letter to cover letter is to limit its
definition and propagate misunderstanding. Towards this effect, let
us go through an example. You want certain holidays from your
college and you write a leave application letter to the principal.
This letter is an application of request. Similarly, when you need
to get a new account passbook issued from the bank you are requested
to write a letter. When you want a loan from a bank, you apply for
it by an application letter. These and many more point out to the
varied uses of letter of application.
