Inquiry Letter is a letter written to request
information and/or ascertain its authenticity. A letter of inquiry deals with
various matters like job vacancies, funding, grants, scholarships, projects,
sales, pre-proposals and others. The term is common in various business setups
as it implies fund request or pre-proposal information. Owing to this usage,
the term may be considered exclusive to these setups alone. But that is not the
case, to this effect the below definition offers a justified meaning.
Inquiry
Letter Definition
A document requesting information sent on behalf of
an individual or an organisation for their own respective purposes, which can
be mutually beneficial to the recipient and the sender.
The term ‘Inquiry’ is same as ‘Enquiry’. The former
is more commonly used in U.S. and the latter one is more common in U.K. There
are some other terms which represent the letters; these are Letter of Intent, Letter
of Interest, Query letter, Prospecting Letter, Pre-proposal Letter and Concept
Paper. The term ‘Cover Letter’, ‘Business Letter’, ‘Request Letter’ and ‘Sales
Letter’ is also applied to an inquiry letter especially when the objective is
same as that of letter for inquiry.
A letter of inquiry serves to facilitate business
operations and satisfaction of the sender. Inquiry letters remove any
misunderstanding and are time savers, especially when two parties want to reach
an understanding. The communication towards this effect resolves the issue
without any delay. With relation to it being a ‘Pre-proposal letter’, the
inquiry letter is also termed as a ‘Condensed Version of a Proposal’. It is the
outcome of the purpose of the letter which highlights the points of a proposal
instead of a full-fledged proposal.
On an individual’s basis, these letters are sent to
companies that are willing to hire but haven't advertised job openings. It can
also be a letter addressed to editor in-charge of a publication proposing
certain literary work. It can be a letter from a student who is vying for a
seat in a college or a business that provides an internship. So, the objective
of an enquiry letter is same but its projections and audiences are different.
Same goes for its method of delivery, it can be sent via paper mail or
electronic mail.
