Goodwill Messsages

Goodwill messages are always appreciated. These are not like other messages that says Yes or No to the reader related to the business, Goodwill messages meant to build Goodwill. These Types of Goodwill letters build relationship because they often come as a surprise.

Internationnal Messages

In this blog, I am going to describe about International messages. Messages that we send to people in other countries is called as International messages. We can write messages in many different styles.

People from different countries write messages in their own style like people in Germany people use respective wards and last names in their messages. French people consider it very rude to begin a letter with a request before it is explained.
Every country have their own syle of writing messages. People write messages in different formats. According to book, mostly people use passive voice in their messages and use a range of vocabulary. Business letter is written in a very good way, because it should look nice to the organisation or company.
