Writing letters, the funny way

Style of writing in any letter must be suitable for its purpose. However there are some rules that apply to nearly all letters.

First, a letter should be short, as short as clarity, sufficient information, and courtesy allow.

Clarity implies using simple, natural English, and arranging the points in a logical order, with separate paragraphs for each point. It must be based on thought and planning before we start writing. We must not only include all the necessary details; we must also exclude everthing which is unnecessary or irrelevant.

Finally, there is the matter of courtesy. No general rule is possible, except to be as short as the kind of letter allow.

There is, of course, one kind of letter to which many or most of the rules do not apply. These are intimate, chatty letters to relatives and close friends. For these the only rule is to write more or less as one would speak to the recipient.
