Letter of Ordering Goods
A letter of ordering goods is a letter that is written by a buyer or individual customer to a supplier or business, requesting to purchase products. Usually the buyer would have seen items in a catalogue or an advertisement and would like to get them shipped by courier or through the mail. In a letter of ordering goods, it is essential to include your personal information, your shipping information, your payment information, and the actual product(s) you would like to order. It is important to include a way for the business to contact you at the end of the letter (usually a phone number or email address) in case there is an issue with the order.
Starting to Write
Keep the letter straightforward, with an opening sentence requesting to do business, followed by the details of your order.
Include your personal information and contact details, shipping address, and note the method you would like to make payment.
If you are contacting a supplier for you business it is common to ask further questions about the products and whether there are any discounts for bulk orders or long term commitments.
