Punjab PMS Exam Formal Letter | (By: Saeed Wazir)

The Punjab PMS exam is going to be held from 7 April. Due to a barrage of requests I received on social media regarding letter writing in PMS exam, I have made up my mind to write on this issue on CSS Times for facilitating the aspirants collectively. A formal letter in the Punjab PMS exam is addressed to higher authorities, dignitaries, colleagues, and seniors. The language is academic and formal, following the salient features of writing norms. It is different from letters we write in our daily life to our close friends, family and relatives.

Pattern/Template/Format of a Formal Letter

It is possible to writing official letters in different styles. Without following principles of academic writing, letter writing a futile exercise .Keeping in view the ironclad, watertight dynamics of letter writing in PMS exam, the following vitally significant characteristics should be followed in true letter and spirit.
