When writing a formal letter there is a format that you have to use. Carol Wolff

To remember the format think about a traffic officer directing traffic. Carol Wolff

Where the letter is GOING to: That is where you write these details. Green for go. Name Companies Name Business Name Address Carol Wolff

Next is TO WHOM the letter is addressing Dear Manager From To Carol Wolff

1 st Paragraph Introduce your REASON for writing. NOT yourself. Please remember the person you are writing to is not your friend, so keep it formal. Don’t ask him how he is, or tell him that you are please to be writing to him. He does not have time for chit chat. He is the manager and time is money. Carol Wolff
