It is irrefutable that in today’s era of modern technology, many people struggle to
produce letters and often avoid writing letter altogether. Nevertheless, I don’t agree
that this skill is gradually disappearing. In this essay I shall put forth arguments to
support my view and also talk about the importance of letter writing.

Firstly, let us consider the reasons why writing letters is less frequent nowadays. This
is because of modern technology. These days we are much more likely to email
someone than write a letter. In addition our business communications have become
more informal than in the past. As a result a less formal style of writing is more
acceptable. Other forms of communication such as text messaging have reduced our
need to write letters even more.

However, in my opinion, there are times when there is no alternative to writing a
letter. Letters are generally more formal and carefully composed than emails. This
makes them more suitable for occasions when they are likely to be kept and re-read,
perhaps several times, by the recipient, as with formal letters of thanks or sympathy.
In letters provide a written record, unlike telephone calls, so they are also a better
way of setting out an important or complex argument, as in the official complaints or
legal matters. Moreover, that time is still very far when everyone will have a computer
and internet connection. Till that time letter writing can never disappear.

So, it can be seen that letter writing is a very important skill to learn because there are
many parts of the world where it is very important to be formal. This is particularly
true if you are involved in international business. Because of globalisation the business
world is becoming more and more international and it is not always possible to pick up
the telephone to talk to people. Consequently I believe that letter writing will never
die out completely. And even though these letters may be written on computers
rather than by hand we still need to learn and practise this skill.

To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that there are fewer times when we need to
write letters than in the past. On the other hand, I feel there are still some important
occasions when a letter is the most appropriate form of communication. With the increase in the use of mobile phones and computers, fewer people
