- Date of the letter to show that the reference is relevant.
- Formally address the intended recipients.
- Ensure you have all of the relevant information about the business . If you are going to provide a positive reference for a business, you need to have all of their up-to-date information which includes the name, address, contact details, their business niche, and working hours. Such information will make it easier for a potential customer to get in touch with a business. You do not want to make a potential customer have to do the research themselves, otherwise they could lose interest.
- Include your own contact details.
- Outline the name of the company (the intended recipient of the letter) and the name of the company writing the reference.
