Formal Letter Writing

Now, this is not the first time you have to write a formal letter. In fact, I think you've been asked to write formal letters every year since you started studying English. So this is the time to clear things out a get a final feeling of what a formal letter should be and look like. There's no magic spell for that, but there's plenty of help. (click on the image to get a full view of the sample cover letter).

The following are some links to pages where you can find advice on how to write a formal letter, in particular, a cover letter. The good thing is that they are not intended for students of English, but for native speakers who have to write a letter and are not sure what it should be like. Have a look, take your notes and try to write a letter using what you have learnt. Do your best to get a formal, reliable and effective letter.
