Scientific Communication and Correspondence The most brilliant experiments ever performed would be of li^® value if no one ever heard about them. Therefore, communication is 0 utmost importance in science.
One of the patterns of scientific communication is correspondence. It has its own rules and conventions, and scientific or business letters should be written according to these rules and in special format. The following points will help you to communicate successfully with your colleagues all over the world: a) Write a writer's address at the top or in the top right-hand comer of the letter b) Write a reader's name, position and address on the left c) Dates are usually written on the right.
Open a letter with the name of a reader. If you don't know the name, write Dear Sir, Dear Madame, Dear Sir or Madame (if you don't know the sex of the addressee). Use Dear Sirs if you write to an institution, company or organization. Each new idea in your letter should be signaled by a new paragraph. Leave a line space between the paragraphs. Finish your letter with the phrase “Yours sincerely”, if you know the reader's name and with “Sincerely yours”, “Sincerely”, or “Yours truly” (Am.) if you don't. Put your signature.
