Question

Your college is organizing a three-day educational tour. Write a letter to your father requesting him to allow you to go on the tour and to send you two thousand rupees for the expenses. (Do not write your name and place)

Answer 1

Hint: Letters follow a particular pattern. The most common and accepted pattern is - The Salutation, the Main Body, and the Sign-off.

Complete answer:
There are two types of letters that you may have to write. They are Formal Letters and Informal Letters. You usually write formal letters in business, corporate and educational settings. On the other hand, you usually write informal letters to your family members and friends.
As the question has asked you to write a letter to your father, it means that it is an informal letter. We will now write a letter according to the pattern given in the hint.
7th August 2020.
Dear Father,
I hope that you’re in the pink of health. It has been raining for a few days here. Is it raining there? If all goes well, this letter should reach you by the end of the week.
I am writing this letter to you to inform you that my college is organizing a three-day educational tour to Aurangabad from 25th October to 27th October. This educational tour will be greatly beneficial to me as we will be exploring the beautiful caves at Ajanta and the rock-cut caves at Ellora. The expenditure for this trip amounts to 2000 INR.
It is my earnest request to you to grant me the permission and the money to go for this trip. I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
XYZ.

Note:
 This is an informal letter. Therefore, its tone is casual and it doesn’t have a subject before the salutation.
