When you receive a letter, you form a mental picture about the writer after reading the first few lines. If it was well written, grammatically correct, and presented on neat, quality stationery, you are almost certain to form a good impression of the sender.

 

There are different guidelines for writing different types of letters. Personal letters, like those you write to your family and friends can be quite informal. However, business letters, particularly formal letters to people you don’t know, should be written according to layout guidelines that are generally understood and expected.

Choose either Personal Letters or Business Letters for guidelines, rules and examples.
