12 Form - in Formal Letters & Essays: How it should be divided Introduction/First paragraph: The first paragraph should be short and state the purpose of the letter/essay (to make an enquiry, complain, request something, research, etc). Body: The paragraph(s) in the middle of the letter/essay should contain the relevant information. Keep the information relevant to the subject and concentrate on organising it in a clear and logical manner. Conclusion/Last Paragraph: The last paragraph of a formal essay should summarise what you have written about (in a letter: what action you expect the recipient to take - to refund, send you information, etc). 12
13 Form - in Letters & Essays: How to use English Paragraph Division Enter + Tab Spoken language is different from written language. There is, you could say, a difference in style. Spoken language is mostly informal, but you tend to keep written language more formal. An informal letter is the kind of letter you write to friends and people you know well. In a letter of this kind it is important to remember to include some polite and friendly phrases at the beginning and at the end. This is also true for s, although these are less strict in their formal structure. However, a formal letter is stricter in its form and language. In English speaking countries, writers of letters and s are generally more polite than in Sweden. It has occurred that a Swedish did not receive an answer because those at the other end felt offended by the lack of polite phrases and references to earlier contacts or s. 13

19 Language - Tips for Formal Writing: Here are some important guidelines for how to go from informal to formal language/writing: Always write with full sentences. (e.g with the question in the answer.) Avoid casual expressions: He didn t seem to get (the hang of) the problem He did not seem to understand the problem. Use sophisticated vocabulary/synonyms: It was a cool party It was a wonderful party. (You can use a a dictionary or a thesaurus, like thesaurus.com) Avoid contractions: he s he is, don t do not, it ll it will. Write numbers with letters: 3 three. At least up to ten or twenty. Use linking words to make your language and text more formal. Think about your punctuation! And use it properly. Triple-check your spelling and grammar, as well as your lay-out (form). Use indents (tab-button) for structuring paragraphs. 19
20 Language - in Formal Letters: How to use Abbreviations (extra) CC = Carbon Copy (when you send a copy of a letter to more than one person, you use this abbreviation to let them know) ENC. = Enclosure (when you include other papers with your letter) P.S = PostScript (when you want to add something after you've finished and signed it) PP = Per Procurationem (a Latin phrase meaning that you are signing the letter on somebody else's behalf; if they are not there to sign it themselves, etc) RSVP (from french) = Please Reply ATT! = Attention! (when you want someone to pay attention to something important) (= OBS!) PTO (slightly informal) = Please Turn Over (to make sure that the other person knows the letter continues on the other side of the page) No other abbreviations or contractions are used/allowed in formal situations! 20
