WHEN THE QUESTION SAYS START WITH "DEAR PRINCIPLE"

does that mean we write everything for the report (such as date, from, subject) or just start off directly??

No. The question always tell you how to start. And usually, in CIE papers you directly start with "Dear ....", just like the question asks you to do so.

Right.... You can see that in the sp... They say Start your letter "Dear Principal" Don't even say you may... So you have to start directly...

Dude I don't think so. Redspot is totally rubbish for english I think. You should get that Cambridge revision guide for o'levels (english). or Progressive English.
It is absurd not to include the format of a letter if they ask you to write one. That is unethical na :p.
Just include the formats, or you will be losing out on 10 marks out of 15 for directed writing.

Just a side note: Directed Writing is composed of two marking areas.
One is Language section (15) and one is Task fulfillment (15)

If you look at the mark scheme, it says that the completion of task fulfillment (15 marks): includes giving a PROPER format and covering all the content points they give plus having an appropriate tone and audience.

The rest of the 15 marks are the language section, which composes of your vocabulary waghera.
