    Formal letters tend to use more formal greetings, sign-offs, and language when addressing the recipient or purpose compared to informal letters. Formal letters often reference previous correspondence, provide reasons for writing, and attach relevant documents. They also make requests, promises, and offers of assistance in a polite manner. Informal letters have a more casual tone and often just provide a brief update or request without extensive background details.
