Dear Ma’am

Subject: Request for the Details of Insurance Plan

I recently came across you company’s ad, that was posted in the local newspaper dated 14th January 2012. The advertisement included a list of insurance plans being offered by your company. There were about 8 different plans mentioned in the paper. I went through them to look for the one that suits my reqirements and did find one. However, all the details about these plans were not mentioned there; your company had just shared an overview in the advertisement.

I would request you to please provide me the details of the xyz plan as I may be interested in opting for it. You may send across the details on my mail id which is abc@xyz.com. If possible, please arrange an insurance agent’s visit at my place.

I hope to receive a reply soon.

Thanking you

James Dylan

To

William Smith

Training Head

Tri Star Pvt. Ltd.

44 Cuba Road

Birmingham, London,

16th January 2012

Subject: Formal letter for arranging a training session

Respected Sir

I am writing this letter in order to request you to arrange a training session to train our department on the new software that has recently been incorporated in our systems and would soon be used to record all the dealings with the clients.

We did have an introductory session about the working of this software. However, no formal training was given to our department staff about the details of using it. I hope you understand that without a proper training our staff members would not be able to work efficiently on this software which may lead to dissatisfaction amongst our clients.

I would request you to arrange for a training session on the same at the earliest and help our department staff in learning more about it.

Regards,

Charles Brown

Subject: Formal letter for aranging a meeting

Respected Ma’am

I am writing this letter to request you to arrange a formal meeting between our company and the client who visited us last week with the proposal of providing us our required office equipments at a price lower than the actual market rate. As you are aware that we have recently set up our business and are in need of most of the office equipments, it would be appreciated if you can arrange for the meeting at the earliest.

You may inform the client that we have gone through their proposal and would like to deal with them. However, a formal meeting is required to discuss certain terms and conditions on both the sides.

You may arrange the meeting at a place convenient to the client and inform me about the same.

Regards,

Peter Andrew

Follow Up Letters

Follow-up Letters

Follow-up letters, as the name clearly implies, are letters framed especially to serve as reminders or summative descriptions of some proposal or document presented before a certain individual, department, or company. The nature of a follow-up letter may vary depending on the type of the preceding document or letter, but is generally informative and contains details of that letter or document. The follow-up letter should include a brief but clear description of all the significant issues of the previous documents following which it has been framed.

The basic content of a follow-up letter will be similar to the actual letter sent before or the earlier document, but should be presented in a precise and professional manner. Hence, the following points should be kept in mind for framing an effective follow-up letter:

The first and foremost criterion of a proper follow-up letter is to address it to the respective individual or authority, ensuring that the person, department, or agency is completely aware of the preceding document and its contents. The subject of the letter should be stated in brief but in clear and understandable terms, to give a definite clue of the actual matter of concern.
The follow-up later should give all the minute details of the nature, content, time, place and other information included in the previous document, to help track it faster and in an easier manner. Generally follow-up letters are given to gather information and latest updates of the concerned matter, and hence the purpose should be stated very clearly for easier understand ability and faster processing.
