Choose from the options given below:

Options:

Signature

Date

Salutation or Courteous greeting

Subject

Correct Answer:

Subject

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Subject

  • Subject is typically used in formal letters to provide a concise summary of the purpose of the letter. It is not a common feature in informal letters.
  • Elements found in informal letters include:
    • Signature: Informal letters usually end with a closing and the writer's name.
    • Date: Important for context, even in informal communication.
    • Salutation or Courteous greeting: Informal letters often begin with greetings like "Dear [Name]" or "Hi [Name]."

Thus, "Subject" is not a feature of informal letters.
