What to Focus On
- Letters are a written means of communication.
- There are two main types of letters: formal and informal.
- Formal letters serve official and civic purposes.
- Purpose decides the content and shape of the letter.
- The addressee affects the tone and format.
- Formal letters should be complete and concise.
- A formal letter has a fixed and professional format.
- Letterheads may show the company name and designation.
- A subject line appears just above the salutation.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
All letters have the same format, so the same opening, tone, and ending can be used everywhere.
A formal letter can begin with any friendly salutation, such as Dear Sujata or Dear friend.
In informal letters, the sender’s name goes in the top right-hand corner with the address.
Memory Tips
Two types of letters
Formal letter purpose
