Inquiry Letter

A letter of inquiry asks someone for specific information. In some cases, such as a request for promotional material, the recipient will have a clear interest in responding to your letter. In other cases, such as a request for specific information on a product, the recipient may or may not be as motivated to respond quickly. Consequently, always make the tone of the letter friendly and make it easy for the recipient to identify and provide the information you need.


Tips for Writing an Inquiry Letter.

1. Make the letter very clear, and to the point. If you have more than 2 questions or points, make a list to improve readability.


2. Tell them what‘s in it from them. For example, if you are seeking information from a government body or an expert, you can offer to mention their help in a report.

Or if you are writing to find out about a product or a service, tactfully suggest that you may need to place an order later.


3. It‘s a bad idea to send a letter for information that you can easily get from somewhere else, like the Internet. You will need to spend some amount of time and money in sending this letter. So firdt try to find the information by yourself.


there are 2 types of inquiry letter

* Solicited: Sent in response to an advertisement, or any other direct communication.


* Unsolicited: Not sent in response to an advertisement. Because your letter is not expected, you need to make sure that it is very clear why you are writing it.

Prefix, Infix, Postfix

Prefix, infix, dan postfix adalah suatu cara penulisan ungkapan-ungkapan yang rumit, misalnya pemakaian tanda kurung dalam operasi matematika.

Prefix adalah metode penulisan dengan meletakkan operator di depan operand dan tanpa menuliskan tanda kurung.

dilakukan berturut-turut :a.   Kunjungi simpul akar
b.   Lakukan traversal subpohon kiri
c.   Lakukukan traversal subpohon kanan

Infix adalah cara penulisan ungkapan dengan meletakkan operator di antara dua operand dalam hal ini pemakaian tanda kurung sangat menentukan hasil operasi.

dilakukan berturut-turut :
a.   Lakukan traversal subpohon kiri
b.   Kunjungi simpul akar
c.   Lakukan traversal subpohon kanan

Contoh pemakaian infix adalah A+B, A+B-C, (A+B)*(C-D).

Postfix adalah metode penulisan dengan menuliskan operator setelah operand dan tanpa menuliskan tanda kurung.

dilakukan berturut-turut :
a.   Lakukan traversal subpohon kiri
b.   Lakukan traversal subpohon kanan

Text or Body

The text or body begins two lines below the salutation or subject line. (In the simplified letter format, the text begins three lines below the subject line.) The text is single or double spaced, depending on letter length.

Paragraphs are not indented in block, modified block, and simplified format letters; but they are indented (usually five spaces) in semiblock format letters. A blank line appears between paragraphs.

Long quotations are indented five spaces from both the left and right margins, with a blank line both before and after. A similar indentation is used for lists in letters with the semiblock format.

Reverse or "hanging" indentation is a format option, especially in advertising letters:

Keep us in mind when you think

about a new car. You can be

assured of quality and fine

service when you buy from us.

The first line begins flush with the left margin, with subsequent lines indented five spaces.

At least three lines of text must appear on any page following the initial page. If necessary, margins and line spacing are adjusted to meet this requirement.
