Writing：from informal to formal
Dear Mr Carter
I am writing to congratulate you on winning the first prize in
our ‘Word Wizard’competition. My company says I need to
confirm your address and arrange for the prize to be sent by
registered post, or for a courier to drop it off. I have therefore
tried to telephone you loads of times to talk about this, but the
number you gave us on the entry form didn’t work. I also
sent an email to the hotmail address which I got from the entry
form, but it bounced back, so I reckon the address had
something missing.
I’m sure that you would like to sort this out asap, and I’m
really sorry about the delay which has been caused. I would
therefore be grateful if you could get in touch with me on the
above telephone number as soon as you can.

Formal writing
Dear Mr Carter
I am writing to congratulate you on winning the first prize in our
‘Word Wizard’competition. According to company policy I need to
confirm your address and arrange for the prize to be sent by
registered post, or for a courier to deliver it. I have therefore tried
to contact you on a number of occasions to discuss this, but the
number you provided us with on the entry form was unobtainable.
I also sent an email to the hotmail address which I obtained from
the entry form, but it was returned to me, so I assume the address
was incomplete.
I have no doubt that you would like to resolve this issue as soon
as possible, and I regret about the delay which has been caused. I
would therefore be grateful if you could get in touch with me on
the above telephone number at your earliest convenience.
