I need a greeting for a sales letter for multiple recipients
I am new at the writing of sales letters and I have started this new job and
I am really wanting to impress. I just got finished designing the new business cards for the company and now I am working on a sales letter. BTW in case you were wondering and I am sure it might help to know, we are a hotel. I need a greeting that would fit any company I am sendning a letter to without addressing them personally. I have 150 copies to make first off and I want this to be the best I can put out. I am dealing with multi companies and different fields of professions. I need a greeting that will fit them all other than dear sir. |

You mean "fond" of course. Yeah, that would work. I also like:
"Calling all cars" :-) The good thing about Word, is regardless of which greeting you choose, all you have to do is open a new document and start typing. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

LOL, while perhaps appropriate for the OP, for personal reasons, that isn't
very funny at all ;-) -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word. Jezebel wrote: Dear hemorrhoid sufferer ...

See? It works -- it makes you sit up. (And given that junk mail from hotels
is always a PIB anyway ...) "Greg Maxey" wrote in message ...

The humorous responses from these gifted respondents, whose help--along with
that of many others on this BB--on technical issues involving Word knows virtually no bounds, reflects the difficulty of providing advice on matters of composition and content. Nevertheless, having said that, you might want to consider what strikes me as a fundamental problem. Apparently you want to send a letter with a "personalized" greeting but you have no idea whom you are greeting and it is not entirely clear why you want to greet them. Presumably, since you are a hotel (or work for one) you want to sell its wonderful services. But which and to whom? Travelers who will love your comfy beds? Diners who are sure to relish the outstanding cuisine? Local businesses looking for a swanky place for corporate functions? Local businesses looking for a cheapo place for corporate functions? Beyond those questions, you have the conundrum of making personal something which is altogether impersonal: a form letter for a mass mailing. Perhaps you might just skip the greeting altogether. Another hint: "personal" greetings like "Dear Susan B. Anthony" are, in my humble opinion, the height of the impersonal--far more impersonal than "Dear Suffragette" or "Dear Fellow Traveler." And even more impersonal than no greeting at all. They are unalloyed proof that your software stinks at a pretty simple task and that you expecting your computer to give your customers the "personal touch". "SaTiVa" wrote in message ...

Agreed. If you're targeting local businesses, how about "Dear Local
Business" or "Dear Prospective Customer/Guest" or whatever? But in effect your letter is really an advertising flier, so it might be better to structure it as such, starting with something like "Here's news about the great services XYZ Hotel can offer your business!" or "Find out about what XYZ hotel can do for you!" -- Suzanne S.
