Mail Merge

Mail merge is something that allows you to mass produce letters, envelopes, mailing lables, and other documents and they appear to be personalized. The purpose of mail merge is to let you create multiple documents and envelopes using the same template and only having to insert a data source to insert different information for each person. An example of mail merge would be like a Verizon wireless company sending out letters/notifications to all their customers that have past due bills, it would take a lot of time for the person to create so many letters and type up so many different envelopes, when all they have to do is use mail merging and they can create thousands of them within minutes.

Business and Personal Business Letters

Summarizing what read:

                Businesses and organizations send professional business letters to their customers. The personal business letter may come from an individual and be sent to an organization or business. There is block style format and personal business letter format. Block style format are used by both business letters because they’re easy to read and have a clean look. In this format all lines are aligned at the left margin. The letters body should be 1.15pt, line spaced, 10 pt. paragraph space, and a top margin of 2” and 1” side and bottom margin. A personal business letter format does not use letterhead. The person’s home address precedes the date line at the top of the letter. Use a personal business letter format when the letter only represents you and not a business or organization.

1.       In block style format all lines are aligned at the left margin. The letters body should be 1.15pt, line spaced, 10 pt. paragraph space, and a top margin of 2” and 1” side and bottom margin. This is usually used for both types of business letters.

2.       When you are send something to someone or they are sending it to you, it represents you or your business by the way you send it. It is important to have everything formatted correctly, so they know when it is sent, who it is for, who it is from etc.

3.       Business letter format has a letterhead and the personal one does not have a letterhead, because the home address precedes the date line at the top of the letter. They are different because a business letter is from a group or organization, when a personal business letter is from a individual and sent to a business or organization.
