Letter Writing
A PowerPoint Presentation by: Mrinal Ghosh
PGT (English), under Directorate of Secondary Education
Govt. of Tripura (INDIA)
Letter Writing
• Our grandparents and great-grandparents wrote letters all the time:
to their friends and families,
to the bank manager, to express
condolences, to complain, to invite
someone to visit, to accept an
invitation and to thank people for
hospitality or gifts.
Letter Writing
• Nowadays, we don’t need to write letters very often and it’s become a
dying art. Emails, Facebook, Twitter and instant messaging mean
that we can stay in touch all the time. There are still, however, times
when writing a letter is appropriate, and it’s good to know when, and
how to write one.
• Letter writing in English can be formal, semi-formal or
informal, depending on the rubric and the target reader.
Letter Writing
• That’s why it is important firstly to think about who you’re writing to
and why you’re writing so that you use the correct style of formal,
semi-formal or informal.
All styles of letters should include the following:
• An appropriate greeting (e.g. : Dear Akash, Hello Rekha, Hi Bill),
followed by an introduction with your opening remarks (e.g. : How
are you? Thanks for your last letter) and your reason for writing
(e.g. : giving information, making suggestions).
• A main body which contains the information requested by the
rubric and organized into 2-3 paragraphs.
Letter Writing
• A conclusion where you can summarize the main points and include
your closing remarks (e.g. : Write back soon), followed by an
appropriate ending (e.g. : Cheers, Love, Yours sincerely).
