Importance of letter writing

In this technologically wired world we seldom write letters. We prefer writing emails, shorter versions of letters. And the reason it is shorter is because it is more frequent than a letter writing. Letter writing are also on one topic, but the salutation, introductory paragraph and conclusion paragraphs takes away most of the credit.

Emails on the other hand have only one paragraph or at the most two. These paragraphs contain all the components, by components we mean introduction, body and conclusion. People have lost the charm in reading letters because letter writing needs preparation unlike email.

To write better emails we need to practice writing letter. Though this is not necessary. It becomes easier for the one who writes letter. After schooling never have we written any letters to anyone. We write business letters for the office and at the most send emails to other departments. One must practice writing good letters.
