Inquiry Letters

Inquiry letters are written by a person, who wants to gain some information on a particular topic. Inquiry letters are of different types depending upon the inquiry and can be broadly divided into 2 types, formal and informal inquiry letters. Formal inquiry letters are written for official purposes and informal inquiry letters are written to a friend or family for a more personal form of inquiry.

More importance must be given to the fact you want to inquire about and you also need to state the reason for your inquiry. Official inquiry letters must be written as per official format and must follow an official tone.

Friendly inquiry letters must not possess an official tone and writers can talk about other things as well while writing a friendly inquiry letter.
