Circular

Circular is a mass communication tool. The information disseminated through circular
will be of interest to all or a section of employees or groups related to the office.
When a senior officer has to send the same information to more than one subordinate
employee simultaneously, he uses the circular letter. A circular letter is called a circle-
making letter because it revolves around several offices of the same department.
Therefore, a circular letter is that kind of letter which is written to different officials on
a singular matter and for the fulfillment of the same purpose. Generally, it is written
by central level office to its branches, departments and sections asking to do or not to
do a certain task.
In their form and nature the circular letters are totally official, but there is a slight
difference. The personal name or the designation of the sender is not mentioned in
the circular letter. Normally these letters are printed. Sometimes, three lines are left
for the address in which the designation of the officer receiving it is written, if needed.

Normally, the officers of the government use the circular letter when the subject is of
public concern.
