I joined a business organization, and now I have to communicate a lot through letters and emails. Could you guide me on better resources or provide links to help me update my communication in a professional way? I have noticed that I can write normal letters, but they don't reflect a professional tone, so they are not as effective. How can I improve my written communication? What are suitable words and phrases that I should be using? Please guide me.

Dear Mr. Sumit,
Business letters are very important for communicating formally in a company. I can give you a few steps for the same. Most people are already familiar with these steps, but practicing with different scenarios can help you master them.
- Type your name, title, and return address four to six lines down from the top of the page.
- Type the date two to six lines down from the letterhead or return address. The standard is three lines below.
- You may also like to address the recipient by their full name (Kind Attention to: __________).
- Precede the name with Mr., Ms., or Dr. as appropriate.
- Follow with your greeting, then provide the SUBJECT and REFERENCE (if any).
- Begin your letter by introducing yourself in the first paragraph, especially if the recipient does not already know you. For example, 'I recently purchased an insurance plan from your company.'
- Continue with the body of the letter, stating your main purpose for writing. Be as brief and succinct as possible.
- Close your letter with 'Sincerely,' 'Thank you,' or 'Best wishes.'
- Type your name, title, and sign the letter in ink in the space provided. In some cases, you may need to use a stamp or company seal.

Dear Sumit,
Some very good postings have already been made. You can type "email writing" in the search box of Cite HR and get plenty of material to browse through. My suggestion would be to start writing simple and small sentences. You can follow different postings on Management Topics in Cite HR. Please get started. Good luck.

I second the members who submitted their views in your favor.
In short and sweet, don't get confused while attempting to improve your BUSINESS WRITING. Try to retain your PLAIN ENGLISH. You can only improve your business writing skills by writing letters to your clients or through internal communication. It's a time-consuming process, and you need to keep watching your standards, which will definitely grow over a period of time. If you find anyone who can support your learning and development process, that would be of great help to you. This is required because you will understand your mistakes as pointed out by your coach or trainer.
In the pursuit of improving your vocabulary, do not confuse anyone by using difficult words that are seldom used. Be careful when it comes to "PUNCTUATION"; wrong punctuation can deliver a different meaning just by making your reading perceive in a different way.
With profound regards
