Invitation Letter Perfectly part 2

Image
  Step 5. Mention the Recipient’s Address The next step is to mention the recipient’s address, along with writing their names. This step ensures that the recipient can be sure that it’s them who’s been invited to the event. (We’re just kidding, obviously.) Step 6. Include the Salutation Always begin your letter with a greeting. You may write – Dear Madam/Sir if you do not know the recipient’s name. If you do know the name of the recipient, write down their first and last name, and add a salutation in front of it. For example, ‘Dear Elizabeth Brown’. End the salutation with a comma and skip a line. You must always try to find out the full name of the individual that you’re sending the letter. Step 7. Write the Main Body of the Letter You should always start your invitation letter with phrases like… We’re pleased to welcome you… Our organization will be venerated to welcome you as a guest… It would be a pleasure for us if you could come… We would be glad if you could come to… On behalf o

Invitation Letter Perfectly part 1

  There are multiple reasons why you should consider investing your time in writing letters to invite people to your party or event. Let’s have a look at them… First and foremost, and quite possibly the most important reason why you need to nail your invitation letters, is that they set the tone for your event. That’s right! First impressions are really the last impressions when it comes to invitation letters. Now, if your event is really professional, sending a text message to your guests would hardly be appropriate. You have to send out formal invitation letters to give the perception that your event is extremely professional and has to be taken seriously. What’s more? Invitation letters are also extremely  informative . You get the chance to include all the details about your event, from the location to the time, and from the dress code to the theme of the party. You leave no scope of confusion for the guests, and that just goes to show how well organized your event must be! What is

Literature (2) – Rising Action

Image
  The rising action of a plot refers to the events that provoke conflict, build tension, and generate interest. It adds that edge-of-your-seat element that motivates you to keep reading until you reach the story climax. You can find rising action in many stories, from a complex novel to a simple children’s book. For example, the rising action in “The Three Little Pigs” takes place as the pigs set out and begin to make their own decisions. You can surmise that two of the pigs are asking for trouble when they choose flimsy materials to build their houses. Little suspicions such as these (along with the wolf lurking in the background) build suspense: with each page, readers come to understand that these characters are headed for disaster. Things get more and more exciting and tense each time the wolf blows down a house. The action builds to the ultimate showdown between pig and wolf. In literature, the rising action encompasses the decisions, background circumstances, and character flaws

'OUT OF OFFICE’ Reply

Image
  We all love going on vacation but while you are away from work, it’s important to make sure people aren’t expecting you to return their emails. One way of doing this is to set an ‘out of office’ reply in your email program. If you are going to do this in English, there are some points you need to consider. Be polite Start the automated response with something like ‘Thank you for your email’. Just because an email is automated doesn’t mean that it has to be too cold or impersonal. Explain where you are and when you will be back You don’t need to give the location of your holiday, that might make people jealous, but it is important to mention that you are on annual leave or vacation and when you will be back. This means that the sender knows when they can expect a reply from you. You could use an expression like ‘I am currently on annual leave and will be returning on (date)’. Say whether you will have access to email during that time Some people check email while they are away from th

Bowser over Switch Hacks

Image
  Nintendo of America filed a lawsuit Friday against Gary Bowser, a reported “leader” of hack creators Team Xecuter. Bowser and another Team Xecuter member, Max Louarn, were arrested and charged with 11 felony counts in 2020. The new lawsuit alleges Bowser infringed on Nintendo’s copyright in creating and selling its hacks. The lawsuit, filed in a Seattle court, is looking to charge Bowser with two trafficking counts and one copyright violation. Nintendo described Bowser’s operation as “an international pirate ring” that sells Nintendo Switch hacking devices designed to circumvent the company’s security measures, allowing buyers to run pirated Nintendo Switch games. Nintendo has previously filed multiple lawsuits against sellers of the hacking tools — including the SX Pro, SX Core, and SX Lite, three devices that are used to hack the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite. According to the lawsuit, Bowser has been creating and selling Nintendo hacking devices since at least 2013, whe

Write Advertising Press Releases

  Press releases are an essential tool for getting the word out about either your own business or your client’s. And the good news is, you don’t need to be a PR pro to write one. When you’re managing your own public relations campaign, writing press releases should quickly become very natural to you. If you’ve got news about your product, service or company, then you’re ready to experience the power of press releases. And best of all? It’s free! But first, let’s look into the press release itself. So, just what is a press release? It’s simple. A press release is a one to two page document used to call attention to your company and its products/services. They are written in very formulaic ways, and with good reason. Hundreds, if not thousands, of these press releases, come onto the scene every day. If they all took different formats, it would be a nightmare for the press to handle. By making them simple to read, with simple formatting and expected places for dates, times, headlines and
