LETTERS are very effective means of communication for keeping contact
with friends and relatives, who live at a distance. Though e-mail and fax have
overtaken letter writing, still its significance cannot be under estimated. A letter
can be more expensive, emotional and can be preserved for posterity.
Formal
Letter
Informal
Letter
 Get to the point! State your reason for writing in your first
paragraph and stay on track
Always include specifics that will help ease the recipient’s task.
For instance, if you are writing to bank mention your account
number
 If you refer to the other correspondence, mention those by
date, check number, etc.gently and respectfully direct the
recipient's course of action.
Always be courteous! Even if you are frustrated or angry, it will
benefit you more to maintain a cool, calm approach
Since an informal letter is personal in nature it should be written
in a simple, clear, easy to understand, natural and lively way, like
the way one friend/ relative talks to another. While writing
personal letters for examination, care should be taken to honour
the prescribed word limit (150 words for the body of the letter).
WE WRITE PERSONAL LETTERS TO

 Share our joys and sorrows and those of our loved ones.
 Mark social and religious occasions.
Acknowledge and appreciate people in our life; to advise
them.

in your college there is no need to worry. I am only concerned that you should participate in
activities and games, which the college has to offer, for overall development of personality.
It is very important to participate in debates, talk shows or any such activity. Moreover,
Pune is very agreeable for outdoor activities.
Please inform, when you are coming for holidays. Mother is eagerly awaiting your visit and
remembers you often.

Dear sir
Sub: complaint against defective items
With reference to our order no. 54/3 dated 2nd march 2007 for the supply of furnishings and upholstery
our newly constructed restaurant, we note with regret that the goods delivered don’t correspond with
samples sent earlier.
In fact, your samples have been most misleading. The quality of the fabric is much poorer than the one
submitted in the samples. The color scheme of the curtains is also not same as specified. It seems
goods not orders have been sent by mistake. Inspite of the fact that an early delivery was guaranteed,
the goods were delivered after a delay of ten days.
We wait your explanations in this regard and expect that the faulty goods will be replaced at the
earliest as per the terms of the order.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir,
Sub: Need for Kendriya Bhandar in the colony.
Through the esteemed columns of your paper, I would like to draw your kind attention to the unfortunate
fact that our colony is without a Kendriya Bhandar.
You cannot imagine the plight of the innocent citizens who are the victims of ruthless bureaucracy.The
rich are getting richer and have no qualms in spending fortunes on essential commodities. The visit
fancy modern markets and pleased with the array of goods on display, choose what they like.The
poverty stricken masses cannot even get two square meals a day.
The authorities themselves turn a deaf ear and are mute witnesses to the sorry state of affairs in out
cities. There is rampant corruption at every step even when we have Kendirya Bhandars, the people are
not benefited.
You are requested to open a new Kendriya Bhandar and hope that it will serve its purpose.
Yours truly,
