Demystifying the Technical Letter Sample: A Guide for Students

Dear Software Development Team,

This letter is to formally report a bug I encountered while using version 2.3 of the “Project Zenith” application. The issue involves the incorrect display of user data within the “Dashboard” module.

Problem Description:

The application is showing the wrong account balance on the main dashboard. The balance displayed is not reflecting the actual account balance, and is showing the previous day’s balance instead.

1. I entered the system on January 1, 2024.
2. The balance was displayed on the dashboard as $100
3. After checking the transaction, it was $200.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Log in to the Project Zenith application.
2. Navigate to the “Dashboard” module.
3. Observe the displayed account balance.

Expected Result: The dashboard should display the current, up-to-date account balance, reflecting all recent transactions.

Actual Result: The dashboard shows an outdated account balance.

I have attached screenshots and a log file to this email that provide supporting evidence, including the error messages I have received.

Thank you for your time and effort. Please let me know if you need further clarification or information. I am available at [your email address] or [your phone number].

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Dear Mr. Johnson,

I am writing to request clarification on a specific point in the recently released technical documentation for the XYZ Protocol.

Problem Description:

Section 3.2.1 of the documentation, titled “Data Encryption Procedures,” discusses the implementation of the RSA algorithm. Specifically, the document refers to a “key length parameter,” but it does not explicitly define the recommended key length for optimal security and performance.

I’m working on integrating the XYZ Protocol into our system, and the correct key length is crucial. Could you please provide further details on the recommended key length for RSA encryption in the XYZ Protocol?

Any examples with the specific usage with the appropriate parameters will be helpful.

Thank you for your time and guidance.

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Smith,

This letter is to formally request a change order for Project X, due to changes in the project scope.

Change Request: We need to add additional data to the project. The current project includes a display of the following data: Account Number, Account Name, and Balance. We now need to add the Address and City.

Reason for Change: The client now requires an additional of Address and City to the current project.

Impact: The additions of Address and City would require a few additional steps.

• Database Structure: We would need to make some changes to the database to add the new Address and City columns.
• Coding Changes: The code that displays the current information would need to be modified to include Address and City.
• Testing: Additional testing is required to make sure the changes do not affect the display.

Please let me know if you approve of the change order. I have added some estimated costs, which I will include in the attached document.

Sincerely,
