Correct Answer:

Formal letter

The correct answer is Option (1) - Formal letter

Type of Letter Required:

  • A letter to the warden for hostel accommodation is a formal request for an official purpose. Such communication requires a formal tone and structure.

 

 

  • Formal letter: Correct, as this is the appropriate type for making official requests or addressing authority figures like wardens.
  • Friendly letter: Incorrect because it is used for personal communication with friends or acquaintances.
  • Cover letter: Incorrect because it accompanies a resume or CV for job applications, not for accommodation requests.
  • Informal letter: Incorrect because informal letters are casual and used for personal communication, which is not suitable in this context.
