Reference number in letters is useful for  quick reference in future

What is a reference number?

• The reference number is used in offical/formal letters.

• Each letter is assigned a unique reference number.

• It is written either at the top of the letter or with the date.

What is the purpose of a reference letter?

• A unique reference number helps in tracking the letters for future reference.

• This is because several letters may have the same subject. So, if you want to refer to a letter, in particular, you will have to go through all those letters with the same subject.

• That is why a reference number comes in handy.
