DEFINITION OF LETTER WRITING
• Letter is a written message.
• We write a letter to persons who are far away from us.
• We want to convey our message to them in a clear and
forceful manner.
• Even with technology, letters are still special for their
personal touch and formality.
IMPORTANCE OF LETTER WRITING
• Letters offer a personal touch that digital communication often
lacks.
• In business and formal settings, letters are preferred for their
structured format and professionalism.
• They serve as tangible reminders of relationships, events, and
milestones, unlike digital messages that can be easily deleted or
forgotten
• Letter writing enhances language skills, grammar, and
vocabulary.
