Invitation letters and persuasive letters are also types of requests . A cover letter is also a type of request as it is asking to be considered for a post or asking for information about a job. Similarly a cancellation letter , maternity leave letter , friendly letter , love letter, petition letter etc. have requesting tones .
Request letter can be formal or informal in writing. A formal request letter is written in a formal writing style, complete with your full details, and the full details of the recipient. A time comes when we all need to ask about something from someone and if we know how to do that then we can easily accomplish what we intend to. Depending upon the objective or motive request letters can be lengthy or short. But they are always specific and direct in their approach. One of the importances of a request letter is that it reduces the pressure on the recipient and saves the sender from embarrassment. The recipient gets enough time to work out his answer and the sender can take a written ‘No’ easily than a verbal one. In fact it works both ways for both the recipient and the sender.
