Dear Etniers,
Please note that the two addresses in a formal letter DO NOT COUNT in the 
word count. Words are counted in the BODY OF THE LETTER only.
Similarly, the formal letter should be constructed in such a way that it has 
an introduction. a main body and a conclusion in addition to two addresses, 
a date (left side), and appropriate opening and closing greetings (Dear Sir, 
Yours sincerely / Yours truly NOT just "Yours").
Students should relate to the topic in a sensible way and use the 
appropriate formal letter register.

You will prevent valuable points being lost if you make sure your students 
are aware of these points.
Thanks for reading,
