If you are looking for candidates to fill in the position with your company, you have to schedule an interview with them. One way of setting an appointment with someone is sending a letter.

When you use a letter, you must cover all the pertinent details that you want to send the receiver. You will be able to clearly state the date, time, location, person to look for, requirements that they need to bring and other information that they have to know. When you use a letter, it shows the professionalism and formality of your company.

Writing a letter of appointment for a job interview should be brief, concise, and straight to the point. Compose a letter that is polite and accommodating. Do not make the reader feel intimidated because they might be hesitant to respond to you. It should be free from grammatical errors, misspelled words, and typographical errors.

Remember that whatever you send will reflect on your company. You might want to end your letter by asking the applicant to give his response on a specific date. The appointment letter should be sent through the company letterhead. If it’s through email, you should include a logo or address of the company in the body of the email.

Here’s a sample of a letter showing how to schedule an appointment letter for a job interview:
