What is Letter Writing?
A letter is a written message conveyed from one
person (or group of people) to another through a medium. The term
usually excludes written material intended to be read in its original form by
large numbers of people, such as newspapers and placards, although even these
may include material in the form of an "open letter". The typical form of a letter for many
centuries, and the archetypal concept even today, is a sheet (or several sheets)
of paper that is sent to a correspondent through a postal
system.

Dear ABC,
I hope this letter finds you in good health. Last week I got to
know about your accident and I was highly depressed.
Thank God that he saved you from something very serious.
Everything is going to be ok. I had a word with the doctor yesterday and he
told me that there is nothing to worry about for the time being. Just a few
more days in the hospital and you will be back home! I also had a talk with
your mom and she was very upset with whatever has happened. But now she is
happy that you are recovering.
I have good news for you. Your family and friends including me
have decided to celebrate once you come back. My brother and other family
members are also praying for your speedy recovery. Hope to see you soon and in
good health!
Lots of Love,
Yours truly,
XYZ

Dear ABC,
It’s been a long time since we met. How are you? I hope you are
doing well? I hope this letter finds you in good health.
As you know that summer vacation has already started, I was
thinking of spending the vacations together in Mumbai. I want you to take you
out on the city tour as well as introduce my friends and family to you. I would
love to go out and have street food with you. We can enjoy some time near
Marine Drive.
I am just excited at the thought of me and you spending the
vacations together. I just hope that you share your response with me and let me
know if it possible for you to come to my place.
Lots of Love,
Yours lovingly,
XYZ

Respected Sir,
Subject: Regarding the problem of open manholes
Through
the column of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of
the concerned authorities towards the unsanitary and dangerous conditions
prevailing in Niambar Apartment, Bosebhar Avenue, Kolkata. Most of the manholes
of this colony are open which has become a source of danger for the pedestrians
and vehicle owners. Drains are broken at several places. Dirty water is all
over on the roads.
It
will be good if you publish this problem in your newspaper and the concerned
authorities will see the gravity of this matter and take some measures and
ensures everyone’s safety!
Thank
You,
Yours
sincerely,

Respected Sir,
Subject: Regarding the problem of Hackers
I want to draw the attention of the concerned
through your newspaper to the problem of hackers these days. Today the use of
computers has become so common that we cannot imagine the world without it. In
almost every field we are using this facility.
A nation tries a lot to surpass others in
this world. It uses hackers for it. A hacker is a person who secretly finds a
way of looking at and/or changing information on somebody- else’s computer
system without permission. A hacker steals details from other’s computers and
uses them personally. Sometimes the hackers corrupt the original dates and
create problems for the original users. It can be called a silent attack by one
on the other. Today this problem is increasing day by day. Though new software
are used to protect from the hackers but they find new ways every time. Only
careful use of computers can protect us from this problem.
It will be good if you publish this problem
in your newspaper and the concerned authorities will see the gravity of this
matter and take some measures.
Thank You,
Yours sincerely,
ABC

Respected Sir,
Subject: An appeal to raise concern about reckless driving
With great admiration and belief in the
columns of your newspaper, I seek to bring to your kind notice that road
accidents have become an everyday occurrence in our city, as also in cities all
over the country.
Reckless driving is a serious issue, which
takes away many innocent lives in the country every year. A large number of
accidents are caused by people driving recklessly after being drunk, as also by
people who fail to follow traffic rules, either deliberately or otherwise. I
was a witness to one such accident a few weeks ago, where a lady crossing the
road was hit by a car. Although she survived the accident, she was grievously
injured. Unfortunately, such episodes happen every day.
Hence, through the pages of your esteemed
newspaper, I would like to appeal to the people of our country to refrain from
engaging in reckless driving and urge them to diligently follow traffic rules.
This can help save a lot of innocent lives. It would be great if you publish
this in your newspaper!
Thank You,
Yours sincerely,
ABC
