3. Why Do We Write Formal Letters? To communicate with people we don’t know personally. ​To create a professional and lasting record of communication. ​To ensure your message is taken seriously and treated officially. ​They are essential in the business, academic, and government worlds.

4. Common Uses of Formal Letters Job Applications: Writing a cover letter. ​Customer Service: Making a complaint or a request. ​Education: Applying to a college or requesting information from a professor. ​Legal Matters: Communicating with a lawyer or government office. ​Personal Matters: Writing to a landlord or a bank.

5. The Essential Components ​A formal letter is built on a standard structure. We'll explore each of these 9 key parts in detail. Sender's Address Date Recipient's Address Salutation (Greeting) Subject Line Body of the Letter Closing Signature Printed Name

6. Part 1: Your Address & The Date Sender's Address: This is your full contact information. It tells the recipient who the letter is from. ​Place it at the top, typically on the left side. ​Example: ​John Doe ​1234 Park Street ​New York, NY 10001 ​[phone] ​Date: The exact date the letter is written. ​Place it directly below your address. ​Example: October 26, 2025

8. Part 3: The Salutation (Greeting) ​This is how you address the person you are writing to. ​Always end the salutation with a comma. ​If you know their name: ​Dear Mr. Smith, ​Dear Ms. Jones, (Use "Ms." for women unless you know they prefer "Miss" or "Mrs.") ​If you don't know their name: ​Dear Sir/Madam, (This is a classic and safe option.) ​To Whom It May Concern,

9. Part 4: The Subject Line This is a brief, one-line summary of the letter’s purpose. ​It helps the recipient quickly understand what the letter is about. ​Place it between the salutation and the body. ​Example: ​Subject: Complaint Regarding Order #98765 ​Subject: Application for Marketing Position ​Subject: Inquiry about Account Statement

10. Part 5: The Body of the Letter ​This is the main content of your letter. ​It should be organized into clear paragraphs. ​Use a professional tone and stick to the facts. ​The body typically has three main parts: ​Introduction ​The Details ​The Conclusion / Call to Action

11.

The Body: Paragraph 3 - The Call to Action This final paragraph states what you want to happen next. ​Be clear about your desired outcome. ​Good examples: ​"I would appreciate a full refund for the product." ​"Please send me more information about the course." ​"I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you in an interview."
