Call it proper: respect the receiving unit or individual and show courtesy. The content is clear: it is expressed in subparagraphs, subsections, which are easy to read and process. Formal tone: remain professional, polite and non-spoken. Signature is clear: the name of the unit, the department, the date。

Knowledge of the writing skills of different types of communications, combined with practical cases, will make your communications easier and more efficient and avoid misunderstanding or delay as a result of misexpression。
