Transactional Letters



TRANSACTIONAL LETTERS


-What is a transactional letter?


Transactional letters or emails which responded to written information. You use the transactional letters when you are writing notes, letters, invitations, advertisement, etc.

The style of writing can be formal, semi-formal or informal, depending on who you are writing to.

It very important to include all the factual information given in the rubric.


-What are the steps when writing a transactional letter?

When you writing (transactional letter) you have to consider the following steps.

 1. GET OFF TO A GOOD START

Is important that you have clear your objective and style that  you will need to use.


2. PLANNING

You have remember that you only can use 120-150 words, Take advantage of this and use the extra time for planning.

There are three things to consider when you are thinking about a plan:


- The question.

- The original letter or email.

- The handwritten notes.


This is very important to write well and consistently.


    3. DECIDING ON PARAGRAPHS


In this step you have to describe each paragraph and the idea in treat each of these.

You must have:


    a)   A very short opening paragraph


    b)  The first main paragraph

   
    c)   The second main paragraph

    d)   The ending

    You have to develop clear ideas so that the message is correct

4. USING YOUR OWN WORDS

Is more easy when you are using your own words because you are demonstrative that your vocabulary and your grammar is more wide and that you have a control of topic or a conversation in general.

5. CHOOSING THE RIGHT STYLE

You have to take into account the need to use the style appropriate for writing either a letter or an email.
You have to take into account the following tracks so that communication does not lose meaning:

a) Use short forms like isn’t, won’t, it’s, I’ve instead of is not, will not, it is, I have, etc.  

b) Sometimes miss out words in a sentence - In letter writing, it is often quite common to miss out the word ‘I’.

c) Use informal intensifiers – In spoken English, we often use words like really and incredibly meaning really nice, really good.  We often also use some of the more extreme intensifier + adjective combinations such as completely fantastic, absolutely awful, etc

d) Use simple vocabulary - In English there is often a choice between a simpler word or phrasal verb and a longer more complex word.

6. CHECK AND CORRECT

I think that this step is the most important because you have check the grammar and all the letter or email for see that all are well and correct the mistakes before send the letter or email.

 Is important that check the preposition go back and check each one carefully for don't have errors.

( I THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP OF ALL. )


3. What is the most important information that you should take into account at the time of writing a transactional letter?

 I think that the more important the steps six because is the summary of the all writing and you have checked your mistakes and correct the necessary for the letter or email are spelled correctly.
