Explanation
- Format matters: A formal/business letter must include sender's address, date, receiver's designation, subject line, body, and closing.
- Three key points the question specifically asks for — mode of payment, library discount, and date of delivery — must all appear in the body. Examiners check for these.
- Word limit: Stay around 100–120 words in the body; examiners notice if you are significantly over or under.
- Tone: Formal and polite throughout — avoid casual language.
- No marks are awarded for content from the source passages here, as this is an original letter-writing task.
