2C. Notifications, Announcements and
Introductions
Study Section
When sending a notification or announcement the sender's intention is to inform the recipient about something. They notify their partners:
Ø that the goods are ready for shipment;
Ø that they have carried out the order;
Ø that their representative is arriving on 20 May to take part in the tests, etc.
A letter of announcement will be written when the sender announces the change of the company's name/ the firm' address /the appointment of the branch manager, etc.
If you wanted to introduce your firm you should write the letter of introduction. They do not characterize, they advertise your company. The purpose of this kind of the letter is to persuade the addresser that you are the best in business.
Read the following examples of Notifications and Announcements.
Sample 1. Notification of readiness
| Dear Sirs, We wish to inform you that the goods you ordered under contract No. 347/bm are ready for shipment. Enclosed you will find our pro forma invoice. We would be very pleased to be of service to you again. Yours faithfully |
Sample 2. Notifying of Mr. W. Wallace's visit to London
| Dear Sirs, We wish to inform you that Mr. W. Wallace will visit you on the morning of 15 November in your office. Mr. W. Wallace is fully authorized to act in the firm's name. We would appreciate a prompt confirmation of this appointment. If unsuitable, please suggest an alternative date to us. Yours faithfully |
The above letters start with the phrase "We wish to inform you that...". It is quite natural because the purpose of these letters is to inform. There also may be other optional points:
Ø some additional information about the main subject of the letters;
Ø certain courteous phrases finishing the letter (Sample 1).
It would be appreciated to send a letter of acknowledgement in reply to the Notification (Sample 1). Sample 2 requires a letter of confirmation in response.
Sample 3. Announcing new appointments
| We are writing to inform you that Mr. Karl Yorden has been appointed Information Technology of our company. Mr. K. Yorden intends to visit Berlin early next month and discuss business matters with you. Yours faithfully |
