It focuses on similar and divergent stylistic features of English and Ukrainian bureau-cratic correspondence, paying special attention to types of official-business letters, their trite structural parts and standard etiquette prescriptions. The paper deals with the system of subgenres that has established itself in both English and Ukrainian official-business correspondence and describes hackneyed verbal structures or clichés typical of official-business letters in the compared traditions.
