Unit 2.9 Writing: Letters/Emails

Outline for letters/emails including expressions of thanks/regret/apology/congratulations/sympathy

Paragraph 1: opening remarks

Paragraphs 2, 3: write about specific topics

Paragraph 4: closing remarks

The topics for letters/emails may include thanks, expressions of sympathy, apologies/regrets or congratulations. They can be informal, semi-formal or formal depending on who you are writing to e.g. write an email apologising to your friend in an informal style (short forms, colloquial expressions, phrasal verbs etc), but write a letter thanking your penfriend’s parents or a distant relative for a gift they sent you in semi-formal style (polite expressions, more respectful tone etc). More than one of these topics (thanks, sympathy etc) may be included or the topic(s) may form only part of the letter/email. Remember:

• to include an appropriate greeting (informal: Dear/Hi + first name, semi-formal: Dear Mr/Mrs + surname, formal: Dear Sir/Madam);

• your opening remarks may include questions about recent events, how the person is etc, a thank you for the person’s last letter, comments about their news, an apology for a delay in writing/ replying, reasons for writing etc.;

• in the main body paragraphs, include the specific information asked for in the rubric. Make sure that you cover all parts of the rubric;

• your closing remarks may include greetings to the person’s family, good wishes for an upcoming event, a request to the person to reply soon, a reason for ending the letter etc.;

• sign off appropriately (informal: Love/Best wishes + first name; semi-formal: Regards/Best wishes; formal: Yours faithfully, Sincerely).
