In the eastern countries, drawing up a whole art. It uses words that are never used in oral speech, necessarily discuss the weather, ask the addressee his opinion about the beauty of natural phenomena, and only then go to business. Everything is easier for us. If you are in the topic of letters or the first paragraph, do not announce what you want, your letter will be considered boring and protracted, and quit read. How to write letters to always answer them?

Why don't you answer a letter? Errors in the letter

The addressee may have many reasons to leave your letter unanswered. No need to immediately suspect him of hostility or unwillingness to communicate.

Perhaps it is more convenient for him to contact you on the phone or talk personally. Or he accepted your letter to note, considering that the answer is not needed. Sometimes people do not answer the letter right away, but wait until the correspondence will accumulate. After all, it is easier to answer several messages than to send one at a time.

But if your letters remain without an answer more and more often, there is an occasion to think. What mistakes do people make when compiling messages?

Errors in the literal sense. Grammar. Perhaps you miss a lot of punctuation marks, and the proposals become unreadable. Remember the famous phrase "Execution cannot be pardoned." It is completely incomprehensible what the author wanted to say. At the same time, spelling errors can change words beyond recognition. Varries with errors take much effort and time to read a letter. In our dynamic world, it is easier to discard a “defective” letter than correct it
Your letter looks like spam. This happens when you forget about the addressee, and write to some "average" interlocutor. Such a letter contains neither an appeal by name, nor individual issues. But it is not customary to answer the faceless newsletter
You cannot isolate the main thing. Among the details and small details, the topic may be lost. Perhaps a person read your letter, but did not understand what you want from him

What letters are answered immediately? What needs to be added to the letter so that they pay attention to and answered?

The famous publicist Gleb Arkhangelsky shares his experience: what letters I want to answer right away?

In a good message, the idea should be clearly formulated and declared in the topic of letters. Take a lot to “squeeze” your text up to two or three paragraphs. If you need details, explain in further correspondence
Do not forget to beat off the sentence with a point and a capital letter, put the paragraphs. If you have not decided on how to turn to the interlocutor - on “you” or “you”, it is better to choose the last option. And the most unexpected: never forget to leave reverse contacts in the body of the letter. Perhaps your return address is just lost
If there is a need to attach something to the letter, mark it in the text and briefly describe what kind of information is there. After all, download, find, open and view a separate file is also a work for the addressee. The same goes for links

If you use IWIL or mail as a means of connection with this person for the first time, do not be too lazy to call back and clarify: has the letter come? Sometimes the settings for protection from spam can “swallow” your letter. Nothing to say about our famous (not from the best) Russian post.

Bright first line: "Very urgent!"

Letters often begin with the phrases “Very urgent!”, “Important information!”, “Attention here”. Catchy offers always attract attention. Therefore, they have been used a million times. This is a beaten technique. It is more efficient to formulate in short and catching what will be discussed in the letter itself.

Capacious text of the letter: when your letter does not want to read for a long time

Previously, whole novels were made up of letters. They struck the depth of thought of the interlocutor, the elegance of his syllable, wit and erudition. Now that the rhythm of life has been incredibly accelerated, the addressee will appreciate the brevity more.

Think about letters. Then briefly formulate each item of this plan. This will be paragraphs. If, in addition to basic information, you also want to talk about life, then leave all the “lyrics” in the end.

How to competently write a letter to always receive an answer: tips and reviews

Most letters have the same structure. If you take possession of the technique to make messages in accordance with it, letters will be read easily. So, the answer will not be long in coming. This structure is as follows.

Greetings. The phrase "Good day!" Is very common on the Internet! It is permissible in both personal and business correspondence. Mention the name of the interlocutor. So he will know that he is not a part of a large newsletter, but the letter is intended for him personally
Performance. Do not forget to write not only your name, but also something that will help your interlocutor identify you. “This is Maria” - such a phrase will not tell a person anything. “This is Maria Ivanova from the neighboring office. Together we got a taxi last Friday ” - and now your addressee has already remembered you
Main part. Try to state briefly. If this is a personal letter, you can add a couple of jokes or links that relate to the case. Do not use long offers. You easily get confused in punctuation, and your interlocutor will get tired of reading. Use questions more often
Instead of writing: “Send me photos from a corporate party,” use the phrase: “When can you send me photos?” Now your interlocutor has an incentive to write to you too, because leaving the question without answer is indecent. Do not abuse in introductory words
"Lyrics". Now you can discuss issues indirectly related to the topic. These may be on -duty questions: how is your mother doing? How do you like this weather for the beginning of spring? Or general memories, experiences: have you already seen a new chief tie? You do not know when they change the broken cooler
Parting. Before you put the point, do not forget to add the phrase like "Thank you in advance for the answer"
Complete the letter with your contact data. Do not limit yourself to E-male and address. Perhaps a person will want to call you back or write SMS

Respect - the key to trust in

Sometimes people do not answer the letter because it seemed to them: you have not shown proper respect. Each has its own criterion in this regard.

errors. Lengerity or sloppiness in the text can be considered for disrespect. There are people who fundamentally will not read a letter where there is no gap after a decoration or dashes replaced by a hyphen with a hyphen
lack of greeting or farewell
the remaining forms of politeness. If you have a request, accompany it with the word "please"

In order not to become a victim of an embarrassment situation, be sure to re -read the letter after writing. At the same time, try to see him the eyes of the addressee. Check not only errors, but also address, topic, correctness of links and investments. Track as a letter about the “new chief tie” would not go to the chief himself.

Motivation to answer: Ask what the responsible is well aware of

To establish communication, you can first force the interlocutor to "saddle your beloved skate." A rough example: if you want to take money from your mother, first ask her a recipe for branded borsch, and only in the next letter hint that you do not have enough beef.

The most difficult thing is to motivate a person to answer you for the first time. Then, when the communication is already established, the interlocutor will answer you “on autopilot”.

If there was no answer

Make sure your letter reached the addressee. To do this, use other means of communication. If it was received, specify, maybe another time it is better to contact the I-Mile, but through social networks or skype
When compiling the next message, try to put some kind of deadline to the responsible, that is, the specific date to which he must answer.
Example: “Please send me a lecture schedule. On Monday, the holidays end. I don’t know how much I go to the university. You can do this until Friday
And most importantly: make it a rule to answer the letters addressed to you. Both etiquette and business rules teach this. 10 minutes a day - and your correspondence will not accumulate

Personal letter

Hello dear Misha! This is Oleg. Together we were in the summer camp on Lake Solnoye.

Remember, we had a conversation about the Kino group? You said that you can send me a link to the site where you can download their songs in karaoke format. Next week we will have a military song evening. I want our class to sang a “blood group”. But we need a phonogram. Can you give me a link this week?

By the way, how is the red -haired Katka with whom you danced at the disco? She was not transplanted with you at one desk? How did you celebrate the last New Year? I traveled with Moscow and was on the Kremlin Christmas tree. If interested, I will tell you about this in the next letter.

Thanks in advance for the link. You can send it to this ICIL (***@***.ru) or throw VKontakte (vk.com/***). I'm waiting.

Oleg.
