Date

Subject

Here you are asked to write a report to the Principal...

You have to change the Address there when sending to someone else...

Informal Letter

Sender's Address

Date

And start

Formal Letter


Sender's Address

Date

Receiver's Address

Subject

Start

Account

Direct Start


When they say you may Start with these words... So better do that then... And leave the format....

Dude, a statement of account to the police has a different format,
It goes like:
To
From
Date
Subject.

Furthermore, in formal letters you have to include a signature usually!
And make sure to not miss out on minute details like 'Yours sincerely', don't put a capital 'S'.
Also, you have to make sure your commas are correct in the formal and informal letters, and further ensure that your tone is correct and that you have covered all points in detail; along with covering points, paragraphing is a must.

 

[CaptainDanger]

Yeah you can do it that way too... And yup the other info you gave will help Hamza...

 

[HamzaAsghar]

[scouserlfc]

[Usman17]

When it is correct to start the letter straightaway so why bother writing all the address and date...
Just start xpressing urself

 

[HamzaAsghar]

thnks every one

 

[CaptainDanger]

Well doesnt the adress carry marks i think it does but up too u.

It does... But sometimes they say YOU MAY start and give the line... So then you can start directly too....
