A letter to the editor

0 What is the correct way of heading up a letter to the editor? 02br
02br
00If you are commenting on a previous letter in the paper is this deemed formal or informal? 02br
02br
00Are the address details of both parties necessary at the top? 02br
02br
00I assume 'Dear Editor' is suffice at the start and 02br
00'Yours faithfully' at the end? 02br
02br
00Any other tips would be most appreciated. 02br

E quality papers, it is usual to begin "Sir". Yes, put the addresses in, as you say - they won't print these. The style of your letter will depend upon the style of the newspaper and the letter you wish to respond to, but generally these are considered to be formal letters.
