Formal Letter Writing

A formal letter is an official document written for professional, business, or official purposes using a structured format and polite tone.

In standard formal letter writing (Block format), the sender's address is placed at the top left corner.

'Respected Sir/Madam' or 'Dear Sir/Madam' is the standard formal salutation for a Principal.

The 'Subject' gives the reader a quick idea of the letter's purpose in one short line.

'Yours obediently' is correct. There is no apostrophe in 'Yours'.
