letter writing

[dsavoy]

When writing a business letter, is it O.K. to write the letter in outline form, such as:

1. Description of building:
A. External:
a. Roof has missing shingles
B. Internal:
a. Water damage to ceiling
b. Damage to floor tiles
2. Comments:
A. Building is salvageable

I shortened the sentences rather than going into detail. Do I use periods at the end of these phrases? Do I use colons? I don't like the looks of this.

If those are the only points to include, then why not write them a sentences? I think it would make it easier to read.

That looks like a building survey report on a standard form rather than a letter.

You can write a cover letter and forward the report as an attachment.
