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

There are many types of letter writing but most of the english grammar letter writing deals with the following given categories

Informal Letter Writing:These types of letter are written to relatives or friends. These can also include invitations etc. Such kinds of letter are also known as Personal or Social Letters

Business Letter Writing:These letters are used as a communicative tool in the business and are usually written by the traders, firms and companies etc for business purposes. These kind of letter fall under the category of formal letters

Official Letter Writing:

These include letter of application, letter to government officials and letter to Newspapers etc. These letters are used for the official communication of the information from one department to another. Ex:- Termination letter, Recommendation letter, Reference letter, job letter etc

Irrespective of the type of letter there is certain matter of forms which are applicable all and have to be taken care of while writing any kind of letter to make it impressive and purposeful

Main six Points that has to be taken care of while writing a letter are

Heading

Subscription Courteous Leave-taking, or Conclusion

Signature -Name of the writer

Address

 

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.

Address

The address is written on the envelope of the post card very clearly with pin code
