Professional written communication
A business letter is formal written correspondence between organizations or professionals, typically following conventional formats with letterhead, date, salutation, and signature block.
Business letters handle requests, complaints, proposals, and official communications where a paper trail matters: Please respond to our business letter regarding the contract terms.
The form persists even as most business communication has moved to email.
