- The format here will help in relaying the content of the letter in a formal way. An example of a formal letter is writing a resignation letter to the manager of the company, stating the reason for resignation in the same letter. Usually, these formal letters are written in English in private companies.
- If we want to inform them about our achievement in school or college, then we write them a letter to spread our personal news. Since, the letter is informal thus the salutation is usually given by 'Dear', such as Dear (name of friend/name of uncle or aunty) or Dear Father/Mother, etc.

Dear Muskan
My happiness knew no bounds when I got to know that you have topped your school and achieved your dream. I felt so pleased that I wish I were there to congratulate you personally.
The result has proved that hard work, determination, and perseverance bring good results. You were so laborious and passionate about it. I know you were very nervous too, but I was always very confident that you would come out with flying colors. I apologize that I couldn’t even attend the celebration party despite my wishes.
Hope to see you soon. Please be encouraged and continue your hard work. Your future is very bright. My parents and elder sister have sent lots of love and heartiest congratulations.
With lots of love and best wishes.
Yours lovingly
Shefali
