IELTS "Thank You" Letter:
You might be asked to write a thank you letter in the task 1 part of your IELTS GT Writing section. The letter question would clearly mention who to write this thank you letter and what other things to include in your writing. Based on this instruction, you should develop your answer. However, it is advised that you decide the tone and expressions you use in the letter based on the letter type. If you're writing this "thanking you" letter to your friend, it should be informal in nature and your tone would be casual. If this is a formal or semi-formal letter, your tone would be formal. Your thank you letter should clearly state the reason you are thanking the recipient of the letter.
