How to make it more formal

Start with 'Dear'

No abbreviations: you'll --> you will; R = are; lemme = let me

End with 'Kind regards' or 'Yours sincerely'

Task 3 - Layout and structure

The structure and layout determine the first impression the reader will get. 

A formal letter has a 'block style' form. Let's see if you remember!

What belongs where in the letter on the left?

Sender's address

[=zender]

Recipient's address [=ontvanger]

The date

Salutation, like Dear Mrs.

The body of the letter

The ending

Layout

- Sender's address 

(without name)

- Recipient's address

- Date (in full)

- Dear ....

- The letter

- Ending: 

Yours sincerely,

Yours faithfully,

Kind regards,
