do I put my initials on a business letter I write for my boss?

Answer 1

Yes, below the signature, you type the initials of your boss in caps; then /; and your initials in lower case letters (i.e. BCH/tkn)

Answer 2

Business Letter Format Typist Initials

Answer 3

This is not entirely correct. If you drafted the letter for someone else s signature then YOUR initials go in all caps. If you typed it too, then your initials also go in lower case. For example, if your name is Jane Doe and you drafted and typed a letter for someone else s signature, then the reference initials would be JD/jd. Some offices do not want you to disclose to the reader that the person signing the document did not actually draft it. In which case it would be the signer s initials in all caps followed by your initials s the typist in lower case. As an aside, if the author, typist, and signer are one in the same, then no reference initials are placed in the letter.

Answer 4

No, you do not. The letter you are writing is from him or her. I worked in corporate for years and wrote many of my bosses letters. If they feel you are articulate enough to put the letter together, it's a credit to your skills but you are not acknowledged on the letter.

Answer 5

The first three answers are good, if that is the office style. It usually indicates you typed the letter, not necessarily that you composed it. Sometimes a boss wants to sign the letter without indicating that someone else wrote it; you should ask.

I would like to know how, exactly, the question is worded...if it says "write a claim letter on behalf of your boss," that's a little vague, but I would have to guess that it is meant to be written as if she had written it herself. A letter that said "I'm writing this for my boss" wouldn't be very professional. Assuming it's in the voice of your boss: Under the signature, add enough space for her to sign, usually 2 or 3 returns, then her typed name. Then under that, one blank line, then her initials:your initials lowercase. Under that, one blank line, then "Enclosures". Like this: Sincerely, Joan P. Smith Director of Everything JPS:lt Enclosures

Answer 7

The proper way to do it is to put your bosses initials first in caps then the / your initials small like this

MR/jk

Answer 8

Check with the boss, it is policy in some work places for the typist to put her/his initials on it. Some do, some don't.

Answer 9

You can. At the bottom you put your bosses initial, slash and then your initials.

Answer 10

It appears that currently because we no longer use secretarial pools (where this practice began.) that it is entirely up to your office manager s or executive s decision if the initials are to be used at all.
