Question

How do I write such letters?

Community Answer

Whatever you are secretary of, there will be files for you to maintain. Look at the file copies of letters written in the past, and use those as models for new letters that you generate. Libraries have books that include sample business letters, study those. And/or ask someone in your organization to "eyeball" your draft of a letter you're about to send. Get help, especially if your English is uncertain. The other person will probably love helping you. A good and proper letter will make you look good and also your organization and whoever signs the letter.
