Explanation: Circular letters are formal documents designed for mass communication to a large group (employees, customers, shareholders) to convey general announcements, policies, or updates. Statement 1 is Correct: Circular letters are addressed to a group of people, not individuals. Statement 2 is Incorrect: Circular letters contain standard, uniform content for all recipients; customization is a feature of personalized letters. Statement 3 is Incorrect: Appraisals and increments are confidential, individualized matters communicated through personalized letters, never through general circulars. Statement 4 is Incorrect: Circular letters are highly cost-effective as the same message is duplicated for multiple recipients without customization. Therefore, only Statement 1 is correct, making Option 4 the correct answer.
