A formal letter will encompass many things and is
related to the business letter. To put this into perspective, all business
letters are formal letters but not all formal letters are business letters. The
term formal letter can be used to entail any written letter for a formal
purpose, whether that be a recommendation letter, an invitation letter, a
complaint letter, a letter notice and etc.

Dear Mr. Leaf:
Let me begin by thanking you for your
past contributions to our Little League baseball team. Your sponsorship aided
in the purchase of ten full uniforms and several pieces of baseball equipment
for last year's season.
Next month, our company is planning an
employee appreciation pancake breakfast honoring retired employees for their
past years of service and present employees for their loyalty and dedication in
spite of the current difficult economic conditions.
We would like to place an order with
your company for 25 pounds of pancake mix and five gallons of maple syrup. We
hope you will be able to provide these products in the bulk quantities we
require.
As you are a committed corporate
sponsor and long-time associate, we hope that you will be able to join us for
breakfast on December 12, 2016.
Respectfully yours,
Derek Jeter
