Dear Name,

Thank you very much for asking me an advice to invest in shares but I m sorry that I will have to decline it as I am not a very experience person in shares, I do invest but for short term and for small amount. It’s really nice to know that you would like to invest in shares .it’s risky but if you invest wisely you can make good money. I am sorry I cannot of much help but I have a friend who invests very often and is a good player in the market. He has put lot of money in these shares I can introduce you to him and you can take his guidance.

I understand it’s very disappointing if you do not get the right advice but I feel it’s better to take the advice from the right person as shares is slightly risky and I am not as knowledgeable to guide somebody .I am really flattered that you thought of me for an advice. If there is any other helps you like from me please feel free to call me, I will also find out from my friend about your meeting. Give me few days time and I will let you know about when he is free to have a meeting .

Regards,

Your Name.

Dear Name,

I appreciate you asking me the advice for your career path. Well, as I am aware that you are an MBA marketing and currently working in a in a reputed company from past six months I would suggest you to be in the company at least for a year or more. It’s a good company, and if you are there for more than one year you will gain experience and when you apply for the next job you can go for a higher level. It’s not advisable to move from one job to other every six months. I understand that the salary the other company is offering is bit high but since I have an experience in the Marketing field I suggest you to give more time to the current company, and it’s always advisable to be in the company and grow to the next level.

This is what every company looks for commitment and handwork so. Do your best in your current job and follow your targets, and perform well. Usually any company would take at least two years to promote a person. After that you can always look for better opportunities and you can bargain for good salary also. So gain as much experience as you can and learn the best skills from the current company.

Well, in the end it is your decision, and I assure you whatever your decision will be I will support you.

Regards

An Advice Letter could be either an official letter written to give an advice as a colleague or a personal Advice Letter written to a friend giving advice on request. An Advice Letter can be given either when asked for or when felt by a superior or a colleague or friend of the concerned individual. Although it is very easy to give advice than to take one, but when it comes to giving advice one must also keep in mind whether one needs to be candid or just subtle about the whole business.

While writing an Advice Letter the writer must be careful in choosing the correct words ensuring that they do not sound harsh and yet they convey what they are meant to convey; they look as if a mirror is being shown to the reader and yet they sound like an advice giving directions. A relationship between the writer and the reader is also plays a very important role while giving an advice. If the Advice Letter is not worded correctly, there is a very high probability of ending a relationship.

When a writer writes an Advice Letter officially, s/he must be sure of using the tone in which it is intended, i.e. it should not sound as if the advice is being given very authoritatively. However when written to a friend, one can be a little more relaxed in terms of language usage.

It will be great if the person asking for advice should be very open to feedback otherwise it might just be taken amiss. The advice seeker should be well prepared for both kinds of advices – good and bad!

The language used should be simple, to the point and in a tone that is not expected to be misunderstood.

DOS AND DONTS OF AN ADVICE LETTER

• Make sure that the letter is simply worded
• The tone is not harsh, rude or authoritative
• Candidness should be dealt with only after understanding how delicate the relationship is
• It should not be too long as then the message to be conveyed in the letter somehow gets lost
• Since an Advice Letter is specific to an advice being sort for only one specific agenda, do not digress from that
• Do not use any slangs in the letter especially with the official Advice Letter
• Any typographical and grammatical errors should be carefully checked
• Do not use the letter to bring out any other old issues whatsoever
• There should be no pun intended in the letter

SAMPLE ADVICE LETTER

(Advice being asked from a friend whether or not to go for a change in the job)

Date:

Dear ___________ (name of the friend)

I hope this letter finds you and your family in the best of health and spirits. It has been really a long time since we met up and chatted about our school and college days.

I received your letter the other day telling me about the new job offer that you have got. At the face of it the offer looks really tempting, both financially and profile-wise. It will also be a great jump even designation-wise for you from the job you are in today. But if you let the job seeker in you take a back seat and bring forth your personal life, I would advice that you stay on with your current job a little while longer. I have reasons in saying this and they are:

• Your children are well settled in the best school in town
• The kids are at a very crucial age in terms of their schooling
• You have a beautiful company accommodation in one of the best colonies here
• Your wife also has a good job wherein she is comfortably able to strike a balance between work and home

Relocation would mean to give up all these comforts leave alone the fact that your friend circle too will go through a change.

I would advice that you stay on here a little longer, let the kids finish their schooling and settle in a course of their choice and then you can move once they go to a hostel by themselves.

Having said that, if you still decide to take on the new job, I am always there to support you.

Give my love to the kids and regards to your wife.

Take care and keep me posted with your decision.

Love

________ (Your name)
