LETTER WRITING
[Notes prepared by- Smt. Kanak Gaira, Lecturer in English, Model GGIC Munakote, Pithoragarh]
(Students shall be asked to write one out of two letters based on verbal input.
This question will carry 10 marks.)
Letter writing is an art. It is the commonest mode of communication. It is different from other
forms of writing because it is intended for a specific reader. A letter is written when something
has to be conveyed to someone sitting far away. Writing requires imagination, creativity,
careful planning and organisation. The language of the letter should be interactive.
