What is the main purpose of writing the receiver's address in a formal letter?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To identify the person or organisation to whom the letter is being sent.
The receiver’s address identifies the intended addressee and helps postal or office staff direct the letter to the correct person or organisation. It is different from the sender’s address, which identifies who wrote the letter. The date tells when it was written, and the subject briefly states its topic; neither serves the purpose of the receiver’s address.
