Letter Writing 

For class 11th and 12th

        Hello Friends, you know writing a letter is an art. Many students find it very difficult to write a letter. There are three types of letters.

• Informal letter 
• Formal letter 
• Semi-Formal letter 

        For our H. S. C. students the good news is that they have to study only last two types of letters. Formal letter includes an application letter in response to the given advertisement. Semi-Formal letter includes a letter to the editor or concerned Authorities. Generally, all types of letters have some basic components, like sender's address, receiver's address, salutation, body, complementary close etc.

Formal Letter

           If we studied last some years H. S. C. Board question paper, we come to know that, most of the time they had ask to write an application letter for a job. So,  Here is a basic format for any application letter. What we have to do? Just modify it according to the question. Before that we just take a look on the lay out of application letter.
