How To Write A Letter If You Don't Have Word. Writing a formal letter is easy if you follow these steps. All formal letters start with the contact information and date.

First, as the sender, type your full name and address aligned to the left side, just as you would when addressing an envelope. In the left pane, click on installed templates under the templates section. Begin your letter with a greeting, such as, dear mike, and then get right to acknowledging the amount of time that has passed since you were last in touch.
