Sent To Your Address

The next component of having your business look professional is by contacting your potential clients by means of a business letter. Advatages to doing this is that it will make your business seem less childish and more mature. Sure e-mails must be faster, or even texting... but sending letters let your clients know that you're actually willing to pay for a stamp to let them know about your services.

The most important thing to having a very professional looking business letter is that it follows the MLA format. First thing you have to do is to create the letter using your letterhead template. If you don't have your address or contact information already on your letterhead, you should place it on the top left corner of your letter. So, it should be something like this:

Pixie Willow
87 Sunnydale, Apt. # 712
Cornerstone, Neverland
A23 F45

This is what it should look like. Then, put your client's address directly (maybe a couple of spaces down) below it. So, maybe it will be like this:

Peter Pan
36 Rockygrass, Apt. # 413
Honeytree, Neverland
H67 Y89

Once you have that down, you can start your letter. What you need to have is a beginning, a middle and an end. Try not to make it too long or too short. Too long will bore your customers to no end, and too short may not be specific enough to explain what you do. Try to address your client by their last names and try to sound professional.

Dear Mr. Pan,

I would like to offer you my pixie dust business..... blah blah blah.

After your letter, close it with your name, and leave several spaces for your signature.
