When you want to send a letter to your school teacher, a pen friend's parents or people you do not know very well, try to follow the rules of a semi-formal letter.

A semi-formal letter connects two types of letter writing, formal and informal, which means that informal language is used with a more polite tone of formal writing.

Compare.

Informal: Thanks for your letter. I'd love to meet you at your place.

Formal: I would be delighted to visit you at your birthday party.

Semi-formal: Thank you very much for your kind invitation. I would love to join your party on Friday.

The semi-formal letter includes the following:

1. A formal [greeting|meeting].
   Example: Dear Mr and Mrs Andrews.
2. An [introduction|beginning] where you tell the person about the reasons for writing.
   Example: Thank you very much for your offer to stay at your house.
3. A main body in which you write the [main|additional] subject of the letter in detail.
   Example: I really appreciate your efforts to make me feel comfortable in your flat.
4. A [conclusion|ending] in which you write about your hopes and wishes for the future using closing remarks.
   Example: Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
5. A [semi-formal|formal] ending.
   Example: Best regards, Sam.
