Letter writing is an art and an excellent written medium for conveying one's thoughts and feelings clearly to another person. Although the rise of phone use has reduced the need for letters, the skill of expressing feelings effectively in an informal letter, and stating a request, complaint or demand in as few words as possible in a formal one, remains essential even today. Letters fall into two types: informal letters sent to someone close and dear, and formal letters written for requests, demands, or official and business purposes. In today's technological age, the letter format is now taught according to the conventions of sending an email, including the date, the recipient's designation, the subject line, a salutation, the main content, and the sender's address at the end.
