How to write an order letter?

ORDER LETTER

Order letter/Placing order is a document or letter that confirms the details of a purchase of goods or services from one party to another. Example when we will buy some product in a company, we must send order letter for request that product and when the recipient in that company receives this letter, they will process the order and send the product.
         An Order Letter is the one that is written by the person/company placing the request of purchase from another company. This letter comes into action only when a detailed study of the desired product has been done in the market and based on promised service, quality and price of the product, a decision for a purchase has been made.
 An Order Letter should be drafted very carefully as it needs to pen down all the terms and conditions of the purchase for the benefit of both involved parties.
Things to be aware when writing a order letter :
·         An Order Lettner should be addressed to the person responsible for executing the order
·         include all the terms and conditions agreed upon by both involved parties
·         Since it is purely an official letter it should be typed out
·         There is no need to use too many adjectives in the letter since it is purely for an order being placed
·         The letter should have all rtelevant details related to the order, for example, quantity, price and other terms and conditions
