Abstract
Business Communication in English begins in the early 15th century. Impetus for using English instead of the previously-used Latin or French firstcame from the central government, which encouraged the use of English asa patriotic gesture during the war against France. Following this lead,writers of business letters eagerly switched to English but retained thehighly formal letter writing style of the ars dictaminis. The survivingbusiness letters from the period show a progressive discomfort with thisstyle throughout the century and illustrate for us the dangers of relying onreceived rules in letter-writing.
