Answers
Official letters are letters written to various public or civil servants who generally head their respective departments, sections, branches or zones.
Official letters can be broadly divided into three categories:
To officials regarding CIVIC AMENITIES like electricity, roads, health and hygiene, pollution of air, water, noise etc.
To police officials regarding LAW & ORDER such as against lawlessness, riots, quarrels, eve-teasing, gambling, drinking brawls, breakdown of law and order and other social evils.
Departmental letters regarding postings, transfers, promotions, etc.
Note. These departmental letters are not included in your syllabus.Question 1:

Sir
Sub: Information regarding 8-week summer course
My younger sister has just passed the All India Secondary School Examination of CBSE. She is a brilliant student and has secured 85% marks in X. She does not want to opt for the traditional prestigious courses in science viz. medicine or engineering. She is enamoured of the information technology, but I feel that she is a bit timid and lacks self-confidence. She certainly needs some skilled guidance and training in personality development, leadership and interaction. She consulted her language teacher on the subject and he advised her to join your centre for this purpose.
Kindly supply me the following information regarding the 8-week summer course in leadership:
(a) The number of students in each group.
(b) Whether separate coaching classes are held for girls.
(c) Fee for the whole course.
(d) Whether fee is accepted in two/three instalments.
Yours faithfully
