7. Formal and Informal Letter

Informal letters
How do you keep in touch with family and friends? Do you write letters,
emails, speak on the telephone, send cards, text using a mobile phone, or
use a social networking site such as Facebook? Sometimes we need to
communicate a lot of information and a letter or email may be the easiest
way to do this. We may write a letter to mark a special occasion or to
communicate something thats difficult to say face-to-face: for example, a
letter expressing our sympathy when somebody has died, or a letter sending
our congratulations on the birth of a new baby. These are personal letters.
Personal letters may be short or long but they are usually chatty and
informal.
Formal letters
Formal letters are letters to people who we dont know on a personal level.
We may need to write formal letters or emails to find out information, to
apply for a job or a course, to make a complaint, to give information or to
send an apology. It can be helpful to look at examples of different kinds of
letters that other people have written to get an idea about how to lay out
your letter and the kind of language to use. If youre writing a formal letter,
ask yourself:
Who am I writing to?
Why am I writing?
What do I need to tell them?
What do I want them to do?
When you write a formal letter, its important to have all the information you
need with you, such as dates, names and addresses. If youve been given a
contact name or a reference number, make sure you use it as this will help
the person dealing with your letter. Keep copies of formal letters so you have
a record of what you've sent, and so you can follow up any letters at a later
date.
