Business Letter Takes 36 Years to Deliver

They don't call it snail mail for nothing. A business letter mailed back in March 1972 has finally reach it's location. According to CanWest News, a Windsor pizza business owner received the dated mail which was addressed to the Canadian Acceptance Company. After 36 years, the paper clip had rusted on the document. Canada Post is unsure of how the letter took so long to deliver.

Today, the speed of sending business communications takes a few seconds compared to regular mail. But have we lost something in the age of connectivity.

Remember the fine art of sitting down and writing a business letter. In the slower days of past, the process of writing a business letter was something mulled over and delivered after a final edit. An email is often sent with a push of the button and in many cases, the sender never takes the time to review it. When your correspondence is sent in a click, it's important to remember the old rules of business letter writing still apply. Use proper email etiquette and read what you wrote before it's too late.
