Advanced Business Arabic
Raji M. Rammuny,
part 1
(I don't know if part 2 exists):
It contains some info on letter writing, but it's very basic.

There are some books about 'writing letters' primarily meant for Arabs for
writing English letters, but I've been using these books in the reverse
direction too.

I have some material myself as well: I made a list of 'writing functions'
(parallel to spoken language functions like 'starting a letter',
'apologizing', asking for prices of goods-quotations etc. However, this is
in Arabic and in Dutch, but I could send you a copy if you want. It's still
from the pre-computer age, so it's just photocopies.
