My dear Manu
I hope you are hale and hearty. Nevertheless, I am sure you will not be
feeling very comfortable in Delhi. It must be very cold there. Yet, it may
surprise you that I have visited Simla last week. Instead of feeling
uncomfortable, I enjoyed myself a lot.
It was the end of December. The usual crowds of summer days were
absent. We got a comfortable room. In the morning, I opened the window.
What a scene ! It was snowing all around. We were two persons in the
room. Both of us dressed ourselves well and came out in the open. It was
my first experience of enjoying the snow-fall.
1 kept on the road for a long time.
In the afternoon, I watched an exciting programme of ice-skating. I could

not participate in it. Yet, it was a treat to watch.
With love.

B. Formal/Business Letters
1. Business letters should be short and to the point. Businessmen are

always busy. They have no time to read long and confusing letters.
2. The style is always very formal. Certain terms of polite expressions are
used, such as—
“I shall be much obliged if you send me,”

“Please despatch at your earliest convenience,” etc.
3. Business jargon should be avoided.

4. Avoid abbreviations as far as possible.
5. While ordering goods, care should be taken to give clear and exact
descriptions of the articles wanted. If you are making a complaint, it should
also be very clear though polite.
See the following examples of business letters :

1. You are Abhilash, the Sports Secretary of your school. Write a letter to
M/s Akash Sports, Daryagary, New Delhi asking them to replace the
defective goods.
Answer:
M/s Akash Sports
