Which of the following need not be mentioned in the informal letter ________?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Subject
An informal letter is written to friends and relatives. It has the sender's address, the date, a salutation, the body, a complimentary close and the signature, but no subject line. A subject line, which states the purpose of the letter in a few words, belongs to formal letters such as applications and complaints.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Date — Incorrect. The date is written below the sender's address in an informal letter too.
Option 3: Salutation — Incorrect. Every letter needs a salutation; in an informal letter it is warm, such as "Dear Riya".
Option 4: Complimentary Close — Incorrect. An informal letter ends with a close such as "Yours lovingly" or "Your loving friend".
