Types of Letters With Examples

Business Letters

A business letter is professional correspondence. That means it follows a set


format and a professional, formal tone. You'll use this format frequently
throughout your job search, from cover letters to thank you notes.

 Business Letters
 Business Thank You Letters
 Email Messages

Employee Letters

Even when you have a job, you'll still need to write professional correspondence.
This is a bit different from day-to-day emails regarding work-related issues and
communications. In this kind of correspondence, you'll likely want to be a bit
more formal and keep your language — and letter format — strictly professional.

 Employee Letters
 Excuse Letters
 Goodbye Letters
 Late for Work Apology Letter
 Mistake at Work Apology Letter
 Salary Reduction Letter

Informational Letters

Sometimes you'll want to correspond with people to let them know about a
change in your life, such as a name change or a new office location. Here are
examples of how to share that you've changed your name with colleagues and
co-workers:

 Name Change Announcement - General


 Name Change Announcement - Maiden Name
 Name Change Letter - Married

Job Applicant Letters From an Employer

If you're involved in hiring, you'll have to correspond with job applicants.


Sometimes this will be with good news, such as scheduling an interview or
making a job offer. Other correspondence may require sharing less positive
news.
 Candidate Rejection Letters
 Interview Invitations

Job Interview Letters for Job Seekers

As well as sending a thank you note after an interview, you may also need to
send a follow-up letter to find out if the employer is close to making a hiring
decision. Or, if you miss the interview entirely, you'll need to send an apology.

 Follow Up Letters
 Influence Letters
 Missing an Interview Apology Letter

Job Offer Letters

It's great news, of course, to get a job offer. But in some situations, you may
actually decide to reject the job. Or, you may want to make a counter offer.
Review these letters to see the best way to respond to a job offer, whether you're
taking the job, declining it, or want to try to adjust the compensation package.

 Counter Offer Letters


 Job Offer Letters

Job Search and Networking Letters

The job search process is full of moments when you'll need to send a letter. You
may want, for instance, to reach out to your network for help making connections.
And, of course, as you apply for roles, you'll need to write application or cover
letters to accompany your resume.

 Application Letters
 Cover Letters
 Inquiry Letters
 Job Application Letter
 Job Search Help Request Letters
 Networking Letters
 Value Proposition Letters

Recommendation and Referral Letters

Both job applicants and people applying for admission in college or graduate
school may find themselves in need of a recommendation or reference letter.
These letters, which may be from teachers, work supervisors, colleagues, or
personal connections, provide insight into an applicant's experience, character,
and personality traits. If you haven't written this kind of letter before, take a look
at samples to see what information to include.

 Academic Recommendation Letters


 Character Reference Letters
 Personal Recommendation Letters
 Professional Letters
 Professional Recommendation Letters
 Recommendation Letters for Employment
 Reference Letters
 Referral Letters

Resignation and Retirement Letters

You can share news of a new position, or your retirement, through a letter. You
may want to send one note to colleagues, and a different one to clients.

 Resignation Letters
 Retirement Letters
 New Job Announcement Letters

Thank You, Appreciation, and Congratulation Letters

If someone helps you during your job search or with a big on-the-job project, it's
thoughtful to acknowledge this favor in a thank you letter. You can also use
letters to send your congratulations to colleagues as they have major
accomplishments, like landing a deal or getting promoted.

 Appreciation Letters
 Congratulation Letters
 Thank You Letters
