formal letters are normally sent to people in an official position or people you dont know well ( eg . director of studies , personnel manager , etc ) . they are written in a formal style with a polite , impersonal tone .

* you can write a formal letter / email to apply for a job/course , make a complaint , give / request official information , etc .

* a formal letter should consist of :

a ) a formal greeting (e.g Dear Sir / Madam - when you dont know the persons name - Dear Ms Green - ( when you know the persons name ) .

b ) an introduction in which you write your opening marks and mention your reason(s) for writing e.g I am writing to apply for the position of ... ) .

c ) a main body in which you write about the main subject ( s ) of the letter in detail , starting a new paragraph for each topic

d ) a conclusion in which you write your cosing remarks

eg.. I look forward to hear from you as soon as possible ..

e ) a formal ending ( yours faithfully - when you do not know the persons name
