DearSirs,
Imust express my appreciation of the promptness with which you executed my order No.
75 for 200sandalwood caskets. My foreign customers who had placed the rush order were all
nraise for the excellence of the workmanship.
Iwould, however, like to point out that on opening the package Idiscovered the number of
caskets to be only 198. I was in a position to meet the shortage from my old stock of caskets
and delivered 200 caskets to my clients. It is a small matter considering the many years of
satisfactory dealings that we have had and in the normal-course I would not have mentioned it.
But I am sure you would like to check up with your packing department and root out any
problem that might be there.
my
Ihave already settled your bill No.78 for the caskets. I am enclosing with this letter
articles that are required by me. Please send the
order form for some other sandalwood
sandalwood caskets along with the next consignment to adjust shortage in the present
consignment.

The Chairman
The Bright Bank Ltd.
Light Street
Mumbai - 400 002.
Dear Sir,
Ihave been a depositor in the Jullunder branch of your bank for the last 15 years.
Yesterday Ivisited the bank ofice to ask for my passbook which has not been returned for
more than a month. At first the clerk at the Savings Account counter seemed to ignore my
lquestion. When I raised my voice he rudely informed me that I should not disturb him as he
was attending to his ledger. I waited for 15 minutes and then when I repeated my request he
informed me, without looking up from the ledger, that my book was not ready and that I
should come for it the "day after tomorrow". The attitude of the clerk was most offensive and in
spite of my repeated requests he refused to give me his name.
Even if the poor sèrvice provided by your branch office can be overlooked, the rude
behaviour of the clerk certainly caDñot. I have sent a copy of this letter to the manager of your
Jullunder braich with instructions to close my account and transfer the balance to my credit to
the Fine Bank Ltd.
Yours sincerely,
P.R. Suri.

Report writing is the direct outcome of the gigantism and in Europe,of moder

Before the Industrial Revolution
and branches were unheard of, report writing was not required. The sole
fortunate

trader knew all about his sales and purchases personally. If he was
assistants
to have a large establishment or shop, he gathered his had
enough
around him in the evening and asked them what business been Projections
transacted during the dav. His assistants would then submit an oral
report to him. Today, however, business is differently ordered and
patterned. Rapid and cheap means of communication have brought
into existence large business organizations, with several
departments and branches spread over the country and even
overseas. It is not possible for the manager or director to rush
around trying to find out what is happening in the organization. The modern business
executive sits behinda desk- in an air-conditioned office- and keeps track of what
is happening in the different departments and the distant units of his organization by
reading the detailed reports that are sent to him by his departmental heads and
branch managers.
In spite of the complexity of the modern business world oral reports are still often
used. An oral report may be defined as an oral presentation of factual information.
Oralreports are different from written reports in two ways -
a) written reports strive to be very correct and accurate, oràl reports are often
casual.
b) In an oral report it is the speaker who controls the pace of the report, in a
written report it is the reader.
The British Association for Commercial and Industrial Education has defined a
written report as{ "a document, in which a given problem is examined for the purpose
of conveying information, reporting findings, putting forward ideas and, sometimes.
i aaking recommendations.")Simply put, a report is a communication from a persoan
who has information to a person whowants to use the information. Such reports when
purposefully written often provide the business executive with a workable basis for
action,
KICDS OF REPORTS
Reports may be classified in one of the following ways:

a) Statutory Reports : Statutory reports are those required to be written Dy
law. In the case of companies they include the Statutory Report, the Aud1tor
Report, the Director's Report and reports by inspectors and committe
appointed to investigate the company's affairs.
