How to Prepare a Business Letter Of Introduction

A business introduction letter introduces a person to a company or individual. The introduction letter is similar to a reference letter in that it describes the qualifications of the person to be introduced.

When you are writing an introduction letter, it is important to note that you specify each aspect of employment for the perspective employee. The format of an introduction letter is as follows:

Step 1:

The first part of the letter states your purpose. Of course, you want to introduce the person or individual to the company.

Step 2:

The second part of an introduction letter gives the details or background information of the first part. If you are introducing a new person to the company, it is appropriate to state specific knowledge, skills, and abilities the person has that will benefit the reader.

Step 3:

The last part of an introduction letter acts as a summary reminding the recipient of the general nature of the letter. This part will conclude with a call to action such as “please join me in welcoming John Doe”.

Here is a sample business letter of introduction:
