Letter writing is time tested and dependable medium of communication. It has been a means of passing important and secret information between two persons, parties, departments and even governments. Letters are also used to express thoughts and feelings, Joys and sorrows. It is particularly needed when we cannot talk to a person. Fast modern means of communication like Telephone, Fax and Internet have pushed regular correspondence in the background.
