  Informal Transactional Letter

Remember that if you are responding to a letter you have received then you definitely know the name of the person you are wriitng to (even if the name isn't given to you) Use your imagination to come up with a good name.

Remember you shouldn't put their surname at the beginning or your surname at the end, it's an informal letter.
