The words within a business letter, however, are all parts of speech. For example, a sentence in a business letter might be:
"We are writing to you today to confirm your order."
Here, the parts of speech are:
* We - pronoun
* are writing - verb phrase
* to you - prepositional phrase
* today - adverb
* to confirm - infinitive phrase
* your - possessive pronoun
* order - noun
So, while the letter itself isn't a part of speech, it contains many words that are.
