After receiving job applications from the potential candidates, the employer writes interview letter to those candidates whose applications have passed the initial screening stage. Through this letter, the employer informs the applicants either to sit for a written test or to appear before a viva-voce. This letter is written in the official pad of the company or in the page containing company name and address at the top.
