Answer 2

A typical formal letter format is

Sender’s Address- The sender’s address is usually put on the top

left-hand corner of the page. The address should be complete and

accurate in case the recipient of the letter wishes to get in touch

with the sender for further communication.

Date

The sender’s address is followed by the date just below it, i.e. on

the left side of the page. This is the date on which the letter is being

written. It is important in formal letters as they are often kept on

record.

Receiver’s Address

After leaving some space we print the receiver’s address on the left

side of the page. Whether to write “To” above the address depends

on the writer’s preference. Make sure you write the

official title/name/position etc of the receiver, as the first line of the

address.

Greeting

This is where you greet the person you are addressing the letter to.

Bear in mind that it is a formal letter, so the greeting must be

respectful and not too personal. The general greetings used in

formal letters are “Sir” or “Madam”. If you know the name of the

person the salutation may also be “Mr. XYZ” or “Ms. ABC”. But

remember you cannot address them only by their first name. It

must be the full name or only their last name.

Subject

After the salutation/greeting comes the subject of the letter. In the

centre of the line write ‘Subject” followed by a colon. Then we sum

up the purpose of writing the letter in one line. This helps the

receiver focus on the subject of the letter in one glance.

Body of the Letter

This is the main content of the letter. It is either divided into two

paragraphs if the letter is brief. The purpose of the letter should be

made clear in the first paragraph itself. The tone of the content

should be formal. Do not use any flowery language. Another point

to keep in mind is that the letter should be concise and to the point.

And always be respectful and considerate in your language, no

matter the subject of your letter.

Closing the Letter

At the end of your letter, we write a complimentary losing. The

words “Yours Faithfully” or “Yours Sincerely” are printed on the

right side of the paper. Generally, we use the later if the writer

knows the name of the person.

Signature

Here finally you sign your name. And then write your name in block

letters beneath the signature. This is how the recipient will know

who is sending the letter.
