Dear Sir/Madam,
I hold a savings account in your bank for the past five years and my account number is 109789678. I want to bring it to your notice a few issues I faced recently with the bank.
I had given change of address application one month ago to the bank authorities. But when I visited the branch yesterday, I found that it is not yet updated in my account details.
I had dropped a cheque which has a value of Rs.10,000/- last week at one of the branches. It is not yet credited to my account.
Till now all these years, I never encountered any problem with the bank and I wish to continue in a similar manner. Issues like these affect customer relationship with the bank.
I request you to instruct your employees regarding these issues and inform me on my email or telephone number which is 9878909877.
Looking forward for a quick response from you,
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,
Vijay Sharma

In general application letter it may be written for many causes. But some format will never change say like in the beginning it should always start with greetings for the reader as well as the family in both the formal as well as the informal letter.
The words used should always be positive and humble. It should end with wishes to prosper more in near future.
Dear Mauricio,
I am writing in reply to the classified ad seeking to fill the position of Graduate Student Advisor for the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies degree program.
I have been awarded the degree of Master of Arts from state university so I understand the need for academic advisement and program planning in a nontraditional higher education environment.
I have also experienced, first-hand, the comforting effect of being able to contact an adviser who genuinely cares for the success of students.I believe my educational background in nontraditional post-graduate education and my work related duties of counseling and advising students enrolled in learning programs qualifies me for consideration for the position of Graduate Student Advisor. I look forward to discussing how my skills can be of value as it prepares to move into the new millennium.
Yours Truly,
Chi Freeman.
