Resume originated from the French word resume which means, “summary”. It is a concise
document that highlights your education, work experiences, and other qualifications such as your skills
and strengths. These are information or qualifications that your future employer might look for in the job
that you are applying for. It is usually an enclosure to an application or cover letter so it is
recommended that you prepare the resume first since the information that you include there will be
the basis of your letter. Below is the structure and organization of a sample resume:

College Admission Letter is also known as the “letter of intent”. It is a brief discussion of your intention
to be admitted in a specific course in college.

Employment Application Letter is widely known as a “cover letter”. It is used to introduce yourself to a
prospective employer. This is written to demonstrate one’s interest in the company, sell one’s services
and qualifications in written form, and show that one is fit for a job position. It is usually submitted with
a resume.

Full Block format means that all parts of the letter are aligned to the left.
Modified block format means that the heading, date, complimentary close, and signature are
placed slightly to the right of the center of the paper.
Semi-block format is similar with modified block format except that the paragraphs of the body
are indented.

Below are the parts of an application letter:

Office Correspondence, or business correspondence, is a written interchange of internal

(communication between company departments) and external communication (communication
between a company to another firm) to assist the flow of business processes.

A. Business letter is the traditional way of communicating information from one company to
another or used in external correspondence. The format can either be full block, modified block,
and semi-block. Various types of letters are sales letter, order letter complaint letter, inquiry letter,
adjustment letter, acknowledgement letter, follow-up letter, cover letter, letter of
recommendation, and letter of resignation. Here is an example where you can identify the
different parts of a letter.

B. Business memorandum or memo is a written communication strictly between the company’s

offices to another or used in internal correspondence. A memo has its title line and series
number. Employees tend to read the memorandum if the title line is related to their job
 description. Memos are also used to implement internal guidelines or procedures that the
employees must follow.

C. Business e-mail is an office correspondence that can either be internal or external. There is no
required format in writing e-mail correspondence, but it is expected that the writer maintains a
professional tone. Note that the header of the letter is written on the blank fields including the
‘from’ and ‘to’ fields. ‘From’ contains e-mail from the sender while the field ‘to’ contains the
email of the recipient.

Here are some reminders in completing the parts of a memorandum:

Heading – This segment follows this general format:

TO: (Identify the recipient/s)
FROM: (Your name)
DATE: (Complete and current date)
SUBJECT: (What the memo is about)
 Body – Basically, the body of the memo has two parts: the purpose statement and the
explanation. It is usually presented in single-spaced paragraphs with a line skipped between
each paragraph.
Special Notations – Notations at the bottom of the memo are used to indicate specific things to
the reader.
✓ If you have an attachment on enclosure notation, type “Enclosure” or “Attachment”. An
Enclosure is something included with the memo while an Attachment is a supporting
document attached by a paper clip, staple, etc.
If copies are being sent to others, add notation cc (carbon copies or courtesy copies) line and list of
names at the bottom
