Hey!
Formal letter:
Sender's address (only 3 lines without your name)
Leave a line
Date in the form 21st August, 2017 (write the date when u're writing the letter)
Leave a line
Receiver's address without name but if there's a designation, mention it.
Eg:
The Editor,
The Times of India,
Delhi-110001.
Leave a line
Salutation like Dear Sir,
1st para: Introduction of yourself, your place of residence,etc. One line description of the cause of writing the letter (if possible)
2nd para: description of your problem.
3rd para: your suggestions.
Requesting to oblige like “It'll be good if you publish this in your newspaper”, “kindly see through the matter”.
Yours sincerely,
Signature
(Name in brackets)
Informal:
Sender's address (only 3 lines without your name)
Leave a line
Date in the form 21st August, 2017 (write the date when u're writing the letter)
Salutation
1st para: asking about health, family. No hi, hello.
2nd and 3rd: whatever the letter is about
Last line: “convey my regards to your family”, “convey my regards to grandpa”,”I'll be waiting to meet you”.
Yours lovingly,
Sign.
P.S.: in formal letter, the subject may or may not be mentioned. You won't be penalised.
All the best!!
Edit 1: It seems some schools penalise if subject is not mentioned in formal letters. So, I advise you to clarify it with your teacher. I was told by my teacher that subject is not necessary. Sorry for the inconvenience.
