Formal/Informal Letters

Question:

Which amongst the following is NOT part of an informal letter?

Options:

The address of the sender

The salutation or greeting

The invoice

The signature

Correct Answer:

The invoice

Explanation:

The invoice is not part of an informal letter.

Here's why:

  • Informal letters are casual and personal communications between friends, family, or acquaintances. They typically contain everyday updates, personal stories, or feelings.
  • Invoices are formal documents issued by companies or individuals to request payment for goods or services. They contain specific details like the date, invoice number, amount due, and payment terms.
  • The other options listed (address of the sender, salutation/greeting, and signature) are commonly found in informal letters and serve specific purposes:
    • Address: Identifies the sender and allows the recipient to respond.
    • Salutation/greeting: Establishes a friendly and personal tone.
    • Signature: Identifies the sender and confirms the authenticity of the letter.
