I really want to write a letter to my psychiatrist discussing myself and confidential details about me, i also want to forward this letter to my GP, I want the letter to be informative, and to sound clever. Shall I put lots of long clever words in so i seem smart? Can I used connectives like futhermore,thus, in addition, or shouldnt i do that. Is a buisness letter informal or formal, help!
      Answer1:Yes, Use lots of words that you do not normally use in conversation. Its especially good to use 10 syllable words incorrectly. That way you can sound as stupid and as crazy as possible, so your psychiatrist will know exactly how much medication to give you.Just write like you talk. But use spell check for words like buisness and futhermore.
      Answer2:A business letter is formal. Write as if you are in the office with the doctor and dont try to appear untruthful with your writing. If you normally talk with long clever words, then for sure use them. If you do not, dont. Research with a search engine online for such a letter. Do not copy word for word!!!
