Introduction – The Problem

Writing a formal letter can feel intimidating - even for smart, capable people. Whether you're dealing with a landlord, government office, insurance company, or any other official body, you might find yourself staring at a blank screen thinking:

"How do I even begin this?"
"Should I be polite or firm?"
"What words sound 'professional'?"

The truth is, most people were never taught how to write formal letters — and that’s a problem, because a poorly written letter can be ignored, misunderstood, or taken less seriously.

The good news? You don’t need to be a lawyer or a copywriter to write a strong, effective message. All you need is the right structure, the right tone - or just the right tool.
