Explanation:

Formal letters are an important part of Board Examinations and have been repeatedly asked to check students’ ability to comprehend and react on a given situation.

Formal letters have a variety of purposes. Formal letters are written:

– to ask for / give information.

– to apply for a job

– to make inquiries

– to register complaints about inadequate goods or services

– to place orders / send appropriate replies

– to apologize for behaviour

– to solicit new customers for your business

– to seek redressal of grievances

– to persuade others

– to make an appeal for help

– to send a recommendation

However, all of these letters have a common goal which is to get the results you want from someone you may or may not know personally.

Important points :

The formal letter is written in formal language. Try to avoid starting with ‘To’. Keep sentences short and to the point. Do not use contractions (I’ve, won’t etc).

End with a short sentence that anticipates the response of the addressee.

The tone in a formal letter is polite and impersonal.

Use passive voice wherever possible.

Be brief and to the point. Do not beat about the bush.

Be clear and specific; state the purpose clearly and concisely.

Be positive and polite even if you are writing a complaint. Remember on the receiving end of your letter is a human being !
