How to Use CC on a Business Letter

How many people have often wondered what the CC on means? You get a letter from a company, maybe your mortgage and at the bottom of the page it says CC: with one or more names. I am going to explain the meaning and the proper use of CC: on a business letter or document.

Instructions

1. First off CC: means carbon copy. This pertains to business letters and legal documents mainly. The reason is often when a business letter is composed it affects more than an individual or business.

2. If you are writting a business letter to a client, say it is a foreclosure letter, you have to send copies of the exact letter- a carbon copy in the pre-computer era- to laywers and the courts.

3. You are also obligated to inform the parties of all who are receiving the documentation for legal purposes. This the proper way to inform all parties of the fowarded copies. At the bottom of each page you put;

   CC: Jane Doe
   John Doe

4. On each you must put the other names because you are not CC:-ing to that person.
