Letter
Letter is such a written message that we sent to persons who are far away from us and we want to convey our message to them in a clear and forceful manner. We usually write letters to our friends and relatives. Although advent of IT- Telephones, Mobile SMS’s and Chat- has reduced the importance of personal letter writing as we can send our messages through these mediums very easily but this art is still required where there is need of formal communication. Some time we have to send an application in the school for grant of leave and at other time we have to complain about someone. Same way we get a lot of chances where we have to send formal letter. Thus this art of letter writing is no more an ornamental accomplishment but something that every educated person must acquire for practical purposes

Heading
The 1st part is called the heading. It includes the writer’s complete address and the date that the letter was written. If your letter is full-block style (all flush against the left margin) then the heading and all other parts of the letter are flush left. In this style the paragraphs are not indented. This is how we will write our letters in class. Just so you know, many people write their letters semi-block style, which means that the heading and closing are tabbed to the middle of the paper and paragraphs are indented.
Salutation or Courteous Greetings
The 2nd part of a personal letter is called the salutation. The salutation is the opening greeting in any letter. In most personal letters we start the salutation with “Dear (whatever the person’s name is).”
The Body of the letter -Communication or the Message
The 3rd part of a personal letter is called the body. The body is the “letter” part of the letter. It includes all of the writer’s thoughts organized into paragraphs.
Subscription Courteous Leave-taking, or Conclusion
The 4th part of a personal letter is called the closing. The closing includes the closing greeting followed by empty spaces or lines and then the writer’s typed or printed first and last name. In the closing greeting only the first word is capitalized. Some examples of good closing greetings are as follows: Yours truly; Sincerely; Friends forever; and Love.
Signature -Name of the writer
The 5th part of a personal letter is called the signature. The signature is signed in the space between the two parts of the closing. The signature should be written in cursive and neat. It should include your first and last name or you may sign your first initial and last name.
