                                                                       Request Letter

A request letter asks for information or material from a particular person or entity. The thing you want to ask there is absolutely no limit. You are free to ask and express what you want in the letter.

In fact, you should give as much attention to this letter as you pay attention to the other letters. Well-written letters will have a greater chance of succeeding than a randomly written letter.

In most cases, your request will get more attention if you include also an envelope for your reply letter, stamped and clearly written your name and address. The following authors give examples of the request letter. 

The form of letter writing or letter format can be used in different styles :

1)   Full Block Type

full block type letters that began writing from the left margin. that is to say, from the date, the closing word to the attachment written at the bottom of the writing starting from the left.

2)   Semi Block Style

actually the same as the form of a straight letter, the difference lies in writing the contents of the letter and each new paragraph menjoraok (entry into). in practice, the letter with this form is widely used by the company.

3)   Indented Style

the writing of the address on the letter is uneven or shaped like a ladder, and every new paragraph jutted into.
