This Grade 7 worksheet teaches students how to write clear, polite, and well-structured formal emails. Across five real-world tasks — leave requests, permission emails, note requests, complaints, and invitations — learners practice tone, format, subject lines, and closing statements, helping them communicate confidently in academic and professional settings.
Formal emails help students:
1. Develop clarity and correctness in written communication.
2. Use polite, respectful language appropriate for teachers and administrators.
3. Organize information logically using greetings, body paragraphs, and closings.
4. Build essential life skills for school, internships, and future workplaces.
