E-mails and Letters
   An e-mail is occasionally shorter than a lettter more practical. For example, in a leter there should be the address of the lettter's sender (on the top right), but in an e-mail, we only need to to mention the recipient's e-mail address. Besides, we dont not need to mentionn the date in an e-mail, because it is autmatically programmed. Additionally, a latter takes a few days to reach the recipient, while an e-mail is immediiatel received by the recipient.
    There are similiarities between e-mails and letters. In compising either, we use :
    1). Salutation, such as : Dear Fitria, Dear Madam, Dear Sir, Dear Uncle Guntur,
    2). the body of an e-mail/a letter,
    3). signature /closing, such as: Kind regars, Best regars, Love, Lots of love, Your sincerely, Yours faithfully.
