We invite you to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Dialog This letter is not a summary of the proposals contained in the Notice and.
First impressions count, so you better make a good one, especially when requesting a business meeting. Whether you plan to write to a potential business partner, a government official or a client, your choice of words can make all the difference. A poorly written appointment request letter can affect your image – and your brand. Plus, it can ruin your chances of getting a positive reply.
When you send an appointment request letter, make sure the subject line highlights your intention to meet the recipient. Keep it short and simple. Here are a few examples:
Depending on your preferences, you can place the subject line above or below the recipient's address. If you wish to contact the recipient online, you may use the same subject line for your email and letter.
Start the letter by introducing yourself. In case you met the recipient at some point, be sure to mention it. Provide a brief description of your organization or its mission if necessary. For example, you could say something like:
Dear Representative (last name)
My name is (your name) and I am contacting you on the behalf of (company name). We have a common interest in... and I would like to discuss more.
If you have a referral, you can start with: (Referral name) mentioned that you were interested in knowing more about our products and services. I would like to invite you to discuss more at our office on (date and time).
Let the recipient know what to expect from the meeting, including how long it will take. Provide a rough schedule and cover the main points. For example, you can say:
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet you and discuss how we could join forces on future projects.
Our meeting will cover a brief overview of our technology and resources as well as some examples of our work in this area. We are also interested in discussing a potential collaboration that would be mutually beneficial to both parties.
Try to explain what you are looking for and why you're requesting this meeting in the first place. Suggest two or three dates and times and then kindly ask the recipients to confirm their availability.
Your letter could say something like:
Please, suggest a date and time, which is as per your schedule.
Are you available on [date and time]? If not, please contact us at (phone number) or (email address) to schedule a meeting time.
We will follow up shortly to confirm receipt of this letter and set a day and time that is convenient for you.
Business letters have a specific format. Write your name and address in the top right corner of the page. Type the recipient’s contact information in the left corner of the page or below your address.
Leave wide margins and use a branded blank if possible. Keep the letter short and to the point; ideally, it should not exceed one page. Use a formal salutation, such as “Dear Mr. (Recipient’s name)." If you don't know the exact name of the recipient, you may use "Dear Sir or Madam." End the letter with "Sincerely," "Respectfully,""Respectfully yours" or other formal closings, followed by your name.
An appointment request letter should be clear and concise. Cut useless words and unnecessary information. Use an easy-to-read font like Times New Roman or Arial. Remember to proofread the letter before sending it.

Have you received an invitation to a friend's wedding or a work conference in English? Here are some tips and phrases to help you respond appropriately.
If your job involves business correspondence, then you certainly write request letters, occasionally or on a regular basis. This could be a job request, promotion or meeting requests, request for information or referral, favor letter or character reference. Such letters are difficult to write and even more difficult to write in such a way that encourages recipients to respond willingly and enthusiastically.
As to request for money letters, all sorts of sponsorship, donation, or fundraising requests, you would agree that it often requires a miracle to get a response : ) Of course, I cannot guarantee that our tips and letter samples you will do the miracle, but they will definitely save you some time and make your writing job less painful.
Time-saving tip! If you are communicating by email, then you can save even more time by adding all these sample business letters directly to your Outlook. And then you will be able to insert any sample into the message you are composing or replying to with a mouse click!
All it takes is the Outlook Template Phrases plug-in that you can see in the screenshot on the right. Once you have it installed, you won't have to type the same phrases over and over again.
Just double click the template on the plug-in's pane and find the text inserted in the message body in a moment. All your formatting, hyperlinks, images and signatures will be in place!
Don't hesitate to check it out right now; a fully-functional 15-day evaluation version is available for download.
Well, back to writing business letters, further on in the article you will find:
A business letter is a formal way of communication and that is why it requires a special format. You may not care of the letter format too much if you are sending an e-mail, but if you are writing a traditional paper business letter, the below recommendations may prove helpful. It is considered a good practice to print out a business letter on standard 8.5" x 11" (215.9 mm x 279.4 mm) white paper.
You needn't write the sender's name or title, as it is included in the letter's closing. Type only the street address, city, and zip code and optionally, phone number and email address.
If you are writing on stationery with a letterhead, then skip this.
The standard is 2 lines below the previous item you typed, one to six lines are acceptable.
If you do not know the recipient's name or are not sure how to spell it, use one of the following salutations:
The closing is typically typed at the same vertical point as the date and one line after the last body paragraph. Capitalize the first word only and leave three or four lines between the closing and the signature block. If the salutation is followed by a colon, add a comma after the closing; otherwise, no punctuation after the closing is required.
Below you can see a properly formatted sample donation letter. It's always easier to understand from examples, isn't it?
Below you will find 10 strategies to write your request letters in such a way that they convince your reader to respond or act.
Here's a very poor example of a cover letter:
"In every regard, my qualifications appear to be consistent with the desires expressed by your advertisement and based on the voice of your company's blogs, I really think that I was meant to be a [Position] in your company."
And this is a good one:
"I have good skills and experience in [Your area of expertise] and I would be most grateful if you consider me for any suitable position."
Remember, if your request letter looks easy to read, it has a better chance to be read!
And finally, if you've got a response to your request letter or the desired action is taken, don't forget to thank the person. Here you can find sample thank you letters for all occasions.
Below you will find a few examples of request letters for different occasions.
Dear Mr. Brown:
I hope you are doing well. I have warm memories of your remarkable leadership and support for teachers during my employment at XYZ High School.
Presently, I am applying to XYZ school district and am required to submit three letters of recommendation. I am writing to ask if you would write a letter of recommendation on my behalf.
I would like to provide you with some background information that may assist you, should you decide to write this letter <your background information>.
Attached, you will find a copy of my most recent résumé. Please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information. I look forward to hearing from you, and I thank you in advance for your time.
Thank you for submitting your resume in response to the <position> we advertised. In addition to your resume, we also need three references and a list of past employers for the past three years, along with their phone numbers.
Our policy is to thoroughly review the background of each candidate in order to select the most suitable person for this job.
Thank you for your assistance. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
<Applicant> has applied with our company for a position in our <department>. He / she has given your name as a character reference. Would you be kind enough to provide us with your written evaluation of this person.
Please rest assured that your response will be treated with confidentiality. Thank you in advance.
I am sending this to you as a fellow member of our community. I'm sure that you value living in such a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, just like I do.
You know, sometimes in order to keep one's community quiet and peaceful one has to take action. As you may know, our local Community Committee has been meeting over the past two months to try to find ways to reduce the break-in rate in our area. Last week they released their recommendations on how best to combat that problem.
Their primary recommendation calls for increased police and security patrols to supplement the local Neighborhood Watch program. Unfortunately, the needed amount is not included in this year's municipal budget allocation.
Therefore, as a concerned member of this community I have decided that my business will donate $ for every $ raised in the community to cover the additional security costs. I urge you to join me today in supporting this worthy cause for our common good.
To make your donation today you can drop in to either one of our two stores and deposit your donation in the boxes provided near the front cashes. If you can't make it to the store, please send a check or money order, made out to "XYZ" and mail it to the address listed above.
Thank you in advance.
I am writing you to ask you for a favor that I hope you could do for me.
In less than three months I will be taking the <Examination>, with the hope to enter the <University or College>, where they have the best graduate school program for the course that I am interested in.
The school places an extremely high emphasis on a student's success in the exam, which is why I feel extremely pressured to get an above average score on the Graduate Record Examination.
Because you recently graduated with a degree in <science>, you are naturally the first person I thought of when considering who I could approach to assist me. I am not asking for too much time, I would really appreciate any pointers you could give me and a few lessons on the <sections>, which I feel are my weakest points.
I hope that you will give me a positive response. Thank you in advance.
On <date> I placed an order for the <product>, received it on <date>. I have discovered that the purchased product has the following problem: <add details>
Since the product you delivered is not of satisfactory quality <is not fit for the purpose>, I am entitled to have it <repaired / replaced> and I would request that you confirm that you will do this within the next seven days. I also require you to confirm whether you will arrange for the <item> to be collected or will reimburse me for the cost of returning it.
I look forward to receiving your satisfactory proposals for settlement of my claim within seven days of the date of this letter.

And this is all for today. Hopefully, this information will help you compose properly formatted business letter in general and persuasive request letters in particular, and always get the desired response. Thank you for reading!
Good etiquette dictates that when accepting an invitation, a note announcing your acceptance should be written, especially if the event is formal. This note should be handwritten, formal and gracious in tone, and must be sent within a few days of receiving the invitation. If a RSVP card is provided, a few succinct lines can be written on the other side of the card, otherwise, you can use your own stationary, or purchase a set from local office supply store. Do not use printer paper!

How to accept an invitation as the chief guest?
In your letter, you first have to express your appreciation for the invitation. Then, accept the invitation. You can also reiterate some of the information that was included in the original invitation to show the host that you understand the event. It's also important to ask if there's anything you need to prepare before you show up to the event.
Was this helpful? Yes | No| I need help
Letters like this do not have to be lengthy; you just want to make sure that you understand what is required of you for the event and what you can expect when you arrive.
See more questions like this: Hi, actually we are going to go to another country for a meeting and the host declared: " We will arrange the transportation and accommodation accordingly. " Now how can I accept it by email?

Acceptance letter for an invitation.
To write a proper acceptance letter, make sure you cover the following points:
The letter does not have to be long. As long as you confirm that you are indeed attending, your letter is good enough to send.
Hope you can help me, please? Thank you. More samples of different types of letters.

Wondering how to write an invitation to become a board member? Below you'll find a sample advisory board invitation letter you can use to recruit people to serve on your small business's board.
The following is a sample of how an invitation to become a board member letter should be structured with directions for writing the content - feel free to customize it as required and use it to invite people to serve on your own small business advisory board.
(Prospective Board Member's Name and Address)
Dear (Board Member's Name):
(*Don't forget to customize this section of the business invitation letter for the particular person you're inviting.)
(*Use bullet points if you have more than two benefits.)
As one of the pioneers of the Virtual Assistant (VA) Industry, being a member of Consider It Done's Advisory Board provides you with a stellar opportunity to continue to shape the VA industry. My company, Consider It Done Ltd., needs a new direction. A person with your experience and insight would be the perfect person to help me determine whether my company should break new ground or whether there's still value to be gleaned from the traditional territory.
I will certainly cover any expenses you incur from attending advisory board meetings and also offer a $500 honorarium to be paid directly to you or to a charity of your choice.
Operating since 2005, Consider It Done Ltd. provides a spectrum of business services to clients, ranging from data-processing through graphics design. First started as a one-woman operation run from a basement, Consider It Done Ltd. now has three full-time employees and a host of part-time contract workers. We continue to focus on filling our clients' needs completely and fully; our company motto is "We'll do it right".
The Board will meet three times this year, each meeting consisting of a dinner following a two-hour discussion. There may also be some follow-up questions/discussions by email. Because of the nature of the matters to be discussed, members will need to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and to consider being a part of Consider It Done Ltd.'s Advisory Board. I will be in touch with you soon but in the meantime, I’m available to discuss any questions you may have. You can reach me by phone at (phone number) or via email at (email address).
Do remember to follow up on this advisory board letter as you said you would! Allow at least a week to pass before you call or text the prospective board member as people (especially the kind of people you want on your board) are so busy.
Call instead of emailing if possible to begin with as email is much easier to ignore than a phone call.
And continue to follow up as necessary. It may take more than one call or email to reach your prospective recruit, or the person may ask you to call back in a certain period of time after they've had a chance to think it over.
Once you've recruited members for your advisory board the next step is to have your first board meeting. For more information on how to plan your initial meeting with your new advisory board members see: Sample First Meeting Agenda for an Advisory Board.
A typical sample invitations letter will contain information about the host, the time, It will also specify how one would accept the invitation. . when you're writing an invitation letter for business meetings is the subject line.
