Letter-Writing
Letter-writing (पत्र-लेखन) भाव-अभिव्यक्ति (expression) की एक महत्त्वपूर्ण कला है। यह अपने विचारों व भावनाओं को प्रकट करने का उत्तम माध्यम है। सामान्यतया एक अच्छे पत्र में निम्नलिखित बातों का होना अति आवश्यक है:
1. पत्र का उद्देश्य मस्तिष्क में स्पष्ट होना चाहिए।
2. पत्र में सरल भाषा का प्रयोग करना चाहिए।
3. सभी बिन्दुओं को एक ही अनुच्छेद (paragraph) में नहीं लिखना चाहिए। पत्र के सभी बिन्दुओं पर व्यवस्थित तथा स्पष्ट ढंग से प्रकाश डालना चाहिए। अलग-अलग बिन्दुओं के लिए अलग-अलग अनुच्छेदों का प्रयोग करना चाहिए। 4. सुलेख का ध्यान रखना अति आवश्यक है। सुन्दर लेखन का पत्र के प्राप्तकर्ता पर बहुत अच्छा प्रभाव पड़ता है।
