Letter to The Editor

How to write the letter?

Parts of A Letter

Most of the time people write a letter to the Editor to highlight an issue/problem which  prevails in the society. These kinds of letters mostly have seven (7) parts. 

These seven  parts are as follows: heading, editor address, subject, salutation, body of the letter, conclusion/subscription, writer name. 

  1. Heading:

Write the sender (who is sending the letter) address, and date at the left side. In this section a few things  have to be kept in mind.

  • After address use comma ( , )

  • After city name use full-stop ( . )

  • Date must be written in this way     8th April, 2024

  • After year do not use full-stop 

This is the way to write the address of sender:

Examination Hall,

City ABC.

23rd May, 2022


  1. Editor’s Address:

Editor address would also be on the left side of the letter, but leave one line before writing. In first, and in second line comma, and after writing city ABC then full-stop.

Below  is the right  way to write the address of Editor (receiver/recipient):

The Editor,

The Nation,

City ABC.



  1. Subject:

This is the very important portion of your letter in which the subject of the letter has been written in short form. It is also a technique to write just the issue which is going to be discussed. That will be written after the editor address.


  1. Salutation:

 Standard words that are used to address the person being written to. They are Dear Sir, Dear Madam, Respected Sir/Madam, or Dear Ma’am.


  1. Body of The Letter:

There is a specific style of writing a letter, which begins with a few lines of introduction. Then, the issue is discussed in detail. After that, the solution to the problem is presented. However, it is important to exclude irrelevant details. The body should consist of three paragraphs, and each paragraph should be brief.


  1. Conclusion/Subscription:

 The letter is concluded by these words: Yours truly, Yours sincerely,


  1. Writer’s Name;

In the examination’s letter the writer of the letter does not mention his/her name. Rather only writes  X.Y.Z.
