Application of Formal Letter Writing Techniques

Letter of Complaint

A letter of complaint is a formal letter sent to an individual or organisation in response to receiving poor service or a product that is not fit for purpose. An example of a letter of complaint would be a letter sent to a tour operator who has provided a bad service while you have been on holiday. This type of formal letter does not necessarily need to be concise as it is important that you detail your arguments and points as much as possible.

Letter of Enquiry

A letter of enquiry is a formal letter that makes an approach to an individual or organisation either speculatively or in response to printed public domain material whereby you are requesting some information. An example of a letter of enquiry would be a letter sent to an company requesting a copy of their catalogue or brochure. By their very nature letters of enquiry are short and to the point, it is usually beneficial to include other methods of contact in case the company needs to get in touch with via other means.

Letter of Request

A letter of request is a formal letter much like a letter of enquiry but specifically asks an individual or organisation to take an action. An example of a letter of request would be a letter sent to request sponsorship for a charity activity. It is important to stress the importance of being clear and concise with this format of letter as the recipient must remain engaged and interested in what you have to say.
