it is still the custom to write it on "Monarch"-sized stationery? Otherwise, iirc, your letter will be "roundfiled" without being opened.

I don't know; I'd suggest the 'Roger and Me' approach....





I would go ahead with the monarch/executive style stationery just in case.
Seraya.
I don't think they are going to throw away anything that has a hand written address and a real stamp. At least, that is the rule in my company.


I've always done fairly well with the hand-delivered method. Most companies have an "open-door" policy, meaning that you can go and speak with whomever about any problem you may have.
Make friends with 1 employee... you don't even have to like them, just pretend. It's fun to watch the suit squirm as he reads how poorly you were treated by the entire chain of people below him.
I work for a Fortune 100 company. One of my little tasks is to open ALL the mail, no matterwho it is addressed to and no matter if it says 'confidential' or whatever. I weed through all of the crap and make sure that the important people's time is not being wasted.
Complaint and compliments go the the Consumer Relations in our NY office - NO MATTER who it is addressed to. (Except if it's a contamination issue - the QC dept gets a copy, the plant mgr gets a copy and the original goes to the complaint dept and all contact with the consumer is handled through them)
Resumes and things of that nature go directly to HR....I do NOT EVER give them to our head honcho or even his assistant.
Sales letters and things like that - 99.9% of the time - get 'filed', (in the garbage) unless it's a vendor that we currently use. If it is something that looks decent that we might save money on, company-wide, I **MIGHT** send it to our Procurement dept in our corporate office if I'm feeling nice that day. But odds are, it gets 'filed' there. (yep, you guessed it, in the garbage)
Legal issues go to the legal department.
The sad truth is that EVERYTHING is departmentalized. Our CEO is NOTHING. He does nothing, he makes no decisions....he simply looks over all the reports and meets with the board of directors. The location he is at has nothing to do with anything we actually do. They're there to basically put together press releases and such. I'm absolutely not kidding. I work out of the biggest and most productive location of my company and the CEO has been there MAYBE 1-2x EVER! In fact, there's never been a piece of mail I've ever forwarded to his building. If it's important enough, it all goes to the specific departments and that is it, no exceptions. On my company's website, it doesn't even list his building as a location, so people can't send him anything directly if they wanted to.![]()
Hope I've been helpful!![]()

people have different 'sized' stationery? now that is weird.





The funny thing is that "monarch" is smaller than standard paper.
