Letter Writing
A
letter is a type, written or printed message used for communication between two
people, organization, institutes, etc.
A letter is of two types:
·
Formal Letter
·
Informal Letter
Informal Letters
They are either
written to friends, relatives or juniors, and are not written for any official
purpose. These letters or the themes of these letters do not reflect any kind
of senior-junior relationship or official scenario. Such letters are called as
informal letters. In simple language, informal letters are friendly letters
that are written to friends, relatives and sometimes to our juniors.
Formal Letters
These
letters
are written either for asking permission or for requesting for something or for
ordering or commanding someone. In all the scenarios, there was official
relationship between the people mentioned. The letters were also written for
the official purposes only. Writing such letters is a formality in their
respective institutes or organizations.

Dear Suman,
It
was my dream that whenever I should go on a vacation to Goa, I would go with
you because since childhood we have been best friend. Sadly, I got a chance to
go to Goa along with my Geography Department friends, and I could not control
myself for sharing my experience with you.
Our
journey to Goa by train was satisfactory. As we reached Goa, the first thing
that appealed to me is the golden sand on the white beach of Goa. The endless
Arabian Sea stretching towards the horizon kept me enthralled till the end of
the journey. The hermit crab which I caught hiding inside the shell on the
Culungate Beach is one of the gifts for you. I missed here so much. Wish you
were a part of this mesmerizing experience. A lot of shopping, a lot of eating
and some project work made this trip memorable but it would have been great
with you.
Don’t
worry. Next time when we will go for a trip to Goa, I will make sure that I
show you all the places that I visited. Tell Aunty that I have got something
for her from Goa. Give my love to all.
Yours lovingly,
Roshni
