Groups of letters make up the alphabets (A - Z). These alphabets are used to express one's mind. They are 'A, B, C...' But in this article, how to write letter is the crux of the matter.

There are three types of letters. They are:
•    Formal letter
•    Informal letter
•    Semi-formal letter

FORMAL LETTER

A formal letter is a letter written formally to formal people and places. Formal letters are meant to be written in a simple and standard language without beating about the bush. It's always short and direct.
When you settle to write a formal letter, you're the sender while the person the letter is written to is the receiver or recipient.

Here is the formal letter format

•    Sender's address: The sender's address is the person writing the letter's address. It's usually written on the top right-hand corner of a book, sheet, page, etc. The sender's address must be well-written in case the recipient wishes to come in person if need be.
•    Date: The date is written after the sender's address (below it, and not below the recipient's address)
•    Recipient address: After the sender's address and the date has been written, a space should be omitted and then the recipient's address should be written on the left-hand corner of the sheet. In the recipient's address, the title, name, or position should be written first.
•    Salutation: Formal letters are short and direct. 'Dear Sir' or 'Dear Madam' should be used. 'Mr...' Or 'Mrs...' Can also be used if you know the person personally.
•    Subject & Body: Subject is the summary of the letter while the body of the letter is the major purpose of writing the letter.
•    Complimentary close comprises 'Yours faithfully' or 'Yours sincerely.'
•    Signature: Write your name in capital letter after signing.

INFORMAL LETTER

An informal letter is the direct opposite of formal letter while a formal letters are written to formal people (Offices, Banks, and Ministers), Informal letters are written to informal people (friends, parent, mates)
How is an informal letter written?
•    Sender's address
•    Date

•    Body of the letter
•    Closing the letter
•    Signature

Keynote:

•    The date is written below the sender's address, too.
•    Salutation: 'Dear Bimpe', 'Dear Daddy.'
•    Body of the letter: The purpose of writing the letter.
•    Then you might close the letter with 'Extend my greetings to...'
•    'Yours sincerely' and the sender's signature follow.

SEMI-FORMAL LETTER

A semi-formal letter is a letter that has both formal and informal features. It is not too formal neither is it too informal. Mid formality. It's a letter written to someone you know though not intimately.

•    Address: On the top right-hand corner
•    Date
•    Salutation: Use 'Dear sir or Dear madam', but use 'Dear (name...) If you really know the person.
•    Introduction, Body, Closing.
•    Closing: which includes:

a.    Yours Truly
