Informal Letter — Practice Quiz

Your first name only

After the subscription, you should sign off with your first name only. This maintains the informal, personal tone of the letter. Using your full name would make it too formal, while initials or surname only would be inappropriate for personal correspondence with family and friends.

N. S. C. Bose Road

Abbreviations in road and street names should be avoided in the sender's address. 'N. S. C. Bose Road' is abbreviated and incorrect - it should be written as 'Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Road' in full. The address must be written completely without abbreviating names of roads, streets, or places to maintain formal accuracy.

To introduce the topic directly

The opening sentences should introduce the topic of the letter directly without dwelling on irrelevant things. The first two sentences must point to or introduce the main subject of the letter. This ensures the reader immediately understands the purpose and context of the communication, making the letter more effective and focused.

With closing sentences that wrap up the topic

The last two sentences of an informal letter must wrap up the topic and conclude adequately. This provides proper closure to the letter and leaves the reader with a complete understanding of your message. Ending abruptly or with irrelevant content would make the letter incomplete and unprofessional.
