Dear ,

Check with a sample FAX

An order letter, also known as a purchase order or PO, is the first letter of a specific purchase. The objective is to provide the vendor with detailed instructions for completing an order. It also serves as a legal record of the transaction and should be written with care.

1. Make you instructions clear and accurate.
2. Do not write unnecessary information. Make sure you say when you expect delivery and how you are going to pay.
3. First, write a list of points you want to include in your letter.
4. Put the points in order and join them with correct linking expressions. Use paragraphs to make your letter clear and easy to read.
5. Check the letter and make any changes you think necessary (in vocabulary, grammar, content, spelling, sentence structure and punctuation). Imagine you are receiving the letter. Are the instructions clear? Have you used formal or informal language?
6. Finally, check the opening and concluding paragraphs. The opening paragraph should explain why you have written the letter. The concluding paragraph should clearly say what action you expect from the person who receives the letter.
