The purpose of the letter of business closure is to make everyone aware of your company closure, to thank them for their business or services (as is the case with suppliers and other associates), and also to tell them anything they may need to do as a resule of your business closure. This is the professional way to close business.

You should also include a paragraph on what, if anything, customers need to do as a result of your company closure. For example, if it was a drycleaner, customers would need to pick up their items by a particular date (or an appliance repair business). Also explain what will happen to items not claimed by a particular date (such as they will be donated to charity). You don't want people calling you for months at home after you've closed your business.
