Letter structure
The layout of your letter should follow the structure of the question and consist of four paragraphs with a greeting at the beginning and a signoff at the end.
Use this easy to remember 6 part structure.
1) Dear .....
2) Paragraph 1: Purpose – why you are writing
3) Paragraph 2: Write about 1st bullet point
4) Paragraph 3: Write about 2nd bullet point
5) Paragraph 4: Write about 3rd bullet point
6) Signoff
All you need to do to create your plan is to add in the details from the question, like this:
1) Dear ..... (manager)
2) Paragraph 1: Purpose – tell the manager you are organising a seminar.
3) Paragraph 2: give details of the seminar (bullet point 1)
4) Paragraph 3: invite them to give a presentation & say why you are inviting them (bullet point 2)
5) Paragraph 4: say what the presentation should be about (bullet point 3)
6) Signoff
Formal & Informal Letters
IELTS letters must be written in the appropriate tone and style. There are two options:
Formal – to someone you don’t know or don’t know well.
It is essential that you are able to identify what type of question you’re required to write.
Follow this rule:
If the question includes the word ‘friend’, use informal language.
If the question does not include the word ‘friend’, use formal language.

Although it is possible that you would be friendly with this manager, assume that you are not and keep this type of letter formal.
