Letter to Book Seller: Book Order via V.P.P.
This formal letter to a book seller requesting books to be sent via Value Payable Post (V.P.P) is a practical example from the Class 9 English Grammar syllabus. It helps students understand how to write formal letters for ordering goods, using correct tone, format, and postal references. V.P.P is still used for cash-on-delivery services in educational and rural settings.
Grammar Focus Points
The letter features future tenses, polite modals (such as “would,” “kindly,” “may”), and vocabulary like “catalogue,” “dispatch,” “V.P.P,” “kindly arrange,” and “books enclosed.” This type of letter also teaches polite commercial communication and order placement vocabulary.
Letter Layout
Begin with your address and the date at the top-right corner. On the left, write the bookseller’s address. The subject line should be “Subject: Request for Books via V.P.P.” The letter should include book titles, quantity, edition, and request for prompt delivery. End politely with “Yours faithfully.”
