Category: Formal Letters

Formal letters are one of the most common form of official letters, framed and presented in almost all organizations, be it companies, schools, colleges, business firms, institutions, agencies, or any departments of corporate sectors. It is a highly professional yet effective form of communication in work places. The structure of formal letters is of a definite form and should always be followed strictly. The primary nature of formal letters is that they should be short and informative. The effectiveness of a formal letter lies in the complete presentation of the most significant issues in a clear and compact manner.

Formal letters are very important documents and should, hence, be prepared with utmost sincerity. In spite of being one of the most frequently used modes of communication, most companies still hire experts to frame formal letters. The following points can be considered for helping one frame correct formal letters:

Formal letters should have a proper salutation section. The letter must be acknowledged to the correct person or department and in the correct format. Date and subject of the letter are the next important aspects of formal letters. The exact date of drafting the letter and the brief yet informative description of the letter’s content are important provisions.

The body of formal letters should state the actual purpose and highlight areas of concern as precisely as possible. However, the letter should not compromise with details while trying to keep it short. The intended impact or actions expected as response to the letter should be stated in a few words.

A proper closing salutation and thanksgiving are crucial for all formal letters.

Subject: Persuasive Letter for controlling the use of video games among students!

Dear Mrs. Hudson,

As the Principal of King Arthur High School, I am concerned about the increasing craze of video games among students which is affecting the study and behaviour of students. I would request you to limit the use of video games played by your kids.

Video games cause certain adverse effects on the mind of kids such as violence and lack of interest in studies. In addition to that, video games are pillaging the youth by causing excessive sweat, increasing heart rate and high blood pressure, etc.  With excessive use of video games, students prefer in-door game activities rather than out-door healthy games. Furthermore, agile condition, poor performance in studies and drowning health are one of the side effects of video games.

With that said, we, as a school, are trying to control the use of video games for which we seek your valuable contribution to attain this goal. We request you to implement this golden rule at home “video games must be used under strict supervision and time control”.

With the Best Regards,

Edmond Atkinson

Principal- King Arthur High School
