Question

a note on the language of formal letter

Answer 1

                     The language used in a formal letter has to be appropriate in style and the tone.

Rules to consider while writing formal letters:

• All verb forms must be written in full.

          For e.g., This isn't professional

          This is not professional.

• Avoid usage of informal abbreviations.

         e.g., Use of RADAR is acceptable whereas ads for advertisement is not.

• Restrict the use of active verbs with a first-person singular pronoun.

         e.g.: I will mail you all the relevant information asap.

        All the relevant information will be forwarded to you as soon as possible.

• Should not use informal degree modifiers such as really, extremely etc.
