Dear Mr. Abdul Bari:

This letter is typed in blocked style. Note that all lines begin at the left margin except the date, complimentary close, and signature block. They start from the center, or slightly to the right off center on the page. Some authors refer to this form as the “modified block with block paragraphs.”

This style is usually typed with mixed or standard punctuation. The salutation is followed by a colon, and the complimentary close, by a comma. This form of punctuation is widely used in most business correspondence.

To facilitate typing the date and the closing lines, set the tabular stop at the center or slightly off to the right of the paper so that you can tabulate it whenever you wish.

Remember to always leave a space between the salutation and the name, so the person who is sending this has plenty of room to sign the letter.

Sincerely,


*Signature*

Good Luck Guys

Wishing all my students all the best for your end of the year examinations. It has been a wonderful year and may you guys pass with flying colours.

Some tips I'd like to share with you guys:
1. Use your revision time effectively. Prepare a revision time table.

2. When your energy level is the highest, tackle the difficult bits.

3. Do not postpone the difficult topics.

4. Attend to routine things like tidying up, at low energy times of the day.

5. Do not just read. Make notes. In fact summarizing and condensing notes focuses your mind.

6. Discuss topics, after having revised them, with your classmates.

7. Use diagrammatic representation where ever possible. You may find this easier to retain.

8. Take a 5 minutes break after every 40 minutes ( Certainly after an hour!).

9. Take a longer break after every 3 hours of study.

10. Eat well.

11. Play some game when you find time. This helps you relax.

12. Do your best during the revision.

13. On the examination day, do not worry, even if you feel that you remember nothing! Give it your best shot, you will be able to recall once the questions are in front of you.

14. Answer all questions. Ensure that you plan your time well during the examination.

I hope this well be of some help. Once again 'Good Luck'. My doa will always be there for you all.
