Question

what is the format of formal letter

Answer 1

Here is the format of formal letter:

Formal letter:

Sender's address (only 3 lines without your name)

Leave a line

10th March; 2018 (not like 10–03–18)

Leave a line

Receiver's address without name but if there's a designation, mention it.

Eg:

The Editor,

The Hindu,

Delhi-110001.

Leave a line

Sir, ( don't write dear sir or madam)

Leave a line and write subject

1st para: Introduction of yourself, your place of residence, & description of your problem.

2nd para: Give details of topic.

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)

Note:

While writing a letter to the editor, only sir or madam should be used. In another formal letter excluding editor, respected or dear sir can be used.

The body of the letter must end in three paragraphs.(formal)

Try to avoid starting with “I”

Don't use contractions.(i’m, I’ve)

Don't ask the editor to solve the problem as he can only voice your views

Use passive voice where possible.
