    This document provides guidance on writing effective letters. It outlines the key parts of a letter, including the heading, greeting, introduction, body, and closure. For headings, it lists the necessary contact information. For greetings, it distinguishes between informal greetings like "Hi Dennis" and formal greetings like "Dear Mr. Jones." The introduction for informal letters can be brief while formal introductions should identify the writer. The body is where the main point and reason for writing is explained. Closures vary between informal signatures and formal salutations. Examples are given to illustrate these concepts and common mistakes to avoid are also listed.
