Subject: Correct format for formal letters
So, esteemed colleagues, what DOES the ministry accept as THE correct format
for the "formal letter?" I have avidly been following the discussion on this
forum. Since I began teaching high school for bagrut (midway through my 29
year career, ) my Mom, a retired Enlish teacher in the U.S.A., sent me a
book called "English Grammar and Composition," published by Harcourt Brace
Jovanovich, Inc. in the mid-1980's. It lists the way Sharon Peress
mentioned (I am copying and pasting):
"The address of the writer goes on the right side always, the address of the
person to whom the letter is addressed goes on the left side. The date can
be either aligned under the address of the writer OR , as the first line, at
the left margin."
In my textbook (whose format I have been teaching and using for years,) the
date is on the right side, aligned under the address of the writer. Can
someone "in the know" PLEASE tell us which format(s) will be given full
credit on the upcoming F exam?
Thank you- Esther Revivo Ulpanat Tzvia Sedot Negev
