Choose the most appropriate information from the options given below when you have to write a formal letter to a company.
When you are writing a formal letter to a company, what information do you include ____.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Both your address and the company's address
A formal letter carries the sender's address at the top, so that the reply can reach the writer, and the receiver's (company's) address below the date, so that the letter is properly directed. Both are part of the standard format.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Your address — Incorrect. The sender's address alone is incomplete; the company's address is also required.
Option 2: Your date of birth — Incorrect. A date of birth is personal information that is not part of a letter's format.
Option 4: None of these — Incorrect. Option 3 gives the information a formal letter needs.
