Inquiry Letter
A document requesting information
sent on behalf of an individual or an organisation for their own respective
purposes, which can be mutually beneficial to the recipient and the sender.
The term ‘Inquiry’ is same as
‘Enquiry’. The former is more commonly used
in U.S. and the latter one is more common in U.K. There are some other terms
which represent the letters; these are Letter of Intent, Letter
of Interest, Query letter, Prospecting Letter, Pre-proposal
Letter and Concept Paper. The term ‘Cover Letter’,
‘Business Letter’, ‘Request Letter’ and ‘Sales Letter’ is also applied to an
inquiry letter especially when the objective is same as that of letter for
inquiry.
A letter of inquiry serves to
facilitate business operations and satisfaction of the sender. Inquiry letters
remove any misunderstanding and are time savers, especially when two parties
want to reach an understanding. The communication towards this effect resolves
the issue without any delay. With relation to it being a ‘Pre-proposal letter’,
the inquiry letter is also termed as a ‘Condensed Version of a Proposal’.
It is the outcome of the purpose of the letter which highlights the points of a
proposal instead of a full-fledged proposal.
On an individual’s basis, these
letters are sent to companies that are willing to hire but haven't advertised
job openings. It can also be a letter addressed to editor in-charge of a
publication proposing certain literary work. It can be a letter from a student
who is vying for a seat in a college or a business that provides an internship.
So, the objective of an enquiry letter is same but its projections and
audiences are different. Same goes for its method of delivery, it can be sent
via paper mail or electronic mail.
