Spanish to English: Business Letter Instructions General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - Spanish Dado los objetivos de cartas comerciales, se suele tratar al destinatario con cortesía. Los tratamientos de respeto para el saludo son 'distinguido(s) señor(es)' o 'distinguida(s) señora(s)'. Otra forma un poco más personal es 'Estimado señor' y las variedades correspondientes. En el cuerpo de la carta el autor se dirige al destinatario siempre con 'usted' o 'ustedes'. Para indicar si se envían fotocopias a otras personas se usa la expresión 'C.c.' seguido por el nombre del otro destinatario. Si la carta es firmada en nombre del remitente, la firma va precedida por la abreviación 'P.O.' (por orden) o 'P.A.' (por autorización), indicando que la persona que firma la carta tiene la autorización de la persona responsable.
Translation - English Given the objectives of business letters, one usually treats the recipient with courtesy. The traditional, respectful greeting is 'Dear Sir or Madam,' unless the recipient's name is known, in which case the greeting should be 'Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms./Dr. (recipient's name)'. Alternately, 'To Whom It May Concern' is used as an impersonal greeting. In the body of the letter the author should always address the recipient formally. To indicate whether photocopies were sent to other persons the expression 'cc:' is used, followed by the name(s) of the other recipient(s). If the letter is signed in the name of sender, the signature is preceded by the abbreviation 'pp' (per procurationem, per proxy), indicating that the person who signs the letter has the authorization of the responsible party.
