Dear reader… We sincerely hope you enjoyed our previous blog posts about the Writing section of the B2 First. As promised, here’s the latest instalment in the series. That’s right, today we’ll be teaching you how to write a formal letter or email for the B2 First (FCE) exam. One that’s good enough to write home about !
Don’t forget to take a look at our previous blog posts where we teach you about the other writing options:
- How to write a B2 First essay (part 1)
- How To Write a Report: Cambridge B2 First
- How to Write a Great Article in the Cambridge B2 First Exam
- How To Write A Review: Cambridge B2 First
- How to write a B2 First informal email/letter (part 2)
What’s a formal letter?
A formal letter is an orderly or professional form of communication. It follows a number of conventions related to layout, language and tone, which we’re going to teach you today.
There are two types of formal email or letter you may be asked to write in the B2 First exam – a letter of application and a letter of complaint.
Writing a letter of application
The first example is a letter of application. In this type of task you’ll have to talk about why you’re applying for the position and justify your skills. It could be an application for a part-time job, study or scholarship programme. Here’s a look at the type of question you may see in the exam:
You see this advert on a newspaper website:
Write your letter of application . (You should write between 140 and 190 words)
Writing a letter of complaint
The other B2 First formal letter you may be required to write is a letter of complaint. This could be a letter to a hotel manager, a shop assistant or organisation. You may be complaining about the quality of a service, product or the organisation of an event. Sometimes you’ll have to request some kind of action or resolution , at other times, you may have to correct a misunderstanding. Here’s an example of a complaint letter question:
Write a letter to the hotel manager . (You should write between 140 and 190 words)
Three steps to writing a formal B2 First email/letter
Before you start scribbling away , it’s important to make a plan! Think about what you need to include in your answer and plan out how it will look on the page. Consider the following things:
Step One: Make a plan
Often the question will require you to do two or three things. It’s important to identify exactly what these are as you can receive five marks for simply answering the question. Let’s take a look back at those initial two questions and underline the key information.
Once you’ve identified exactly what they’re asking you to do, use these details to help craft the perfect structure. Take question A – you want to include all of this information in a logical way:
A) Letter of application
- Paragraph 1 – State why you’re writing
- Paragraph 2 – Relevant experience
- Paragraph 3 – Creative and athletic hobbies and interests
- Paragraph 4 – Action you want them to take
B) Letter of complaint
- Paragraph 2 – Details of the problem
- Paragraph 3 – Action you want them to take
Next step is to brainstorm good vocabulary. Pick out some key words from the brief and try to find synonyms to use in your email/letter. You also want to consider any topic-related words that will help you answer the question. For example:
- friendly = warm / outgoing / a people-person
- enthusiastic = lively / keen / energetic
- work with young people = babysitting experience / passion for working with kids
- languages = Spanish, Italian, English, German, French
- creative hobbies = arts & crafts, sewing, pottery, model making
- athletic hobbies = volleyball, basketball, cricket, skateboarding, sporty, active
- disappointing = unappetising / unappealing / awful
- not enough = insufficient / inadequate
- good = fine, satisfactory, excellent, adequate
- vegetarian options = salad, veggie lasagna, fruit, soups
- compensation = payment, reimbursement, voucher, solution
- problem = issue / mix-up / trouble
Remember, this is a formal piece of writing. This means you should keep the tone and language polite at all times. That’s right! At all times – even when you’re complaining. You may be angry, but you’re more likely to resolve the issue if you stay respectful and offer constructive advice whilst being persuasive.
Step Two: Write it
Take it from us, the next stage will be easy if you’ve done your super-duper plan. All you need to do is learn some fixed formal expressions to tie-together your B2 First formal email/letter.
There are several ways to begin a formal email/letter. For example:
- Dear Sir / Madam, (if you don’t know the name)
- Dear Mr or Mrs X (if you do know the name)
- To whom it may concern
Don’t forget to write a comma after the name, and then include a space before starting a new line.
Opening paragraph
When beginning your formal email/letter, it’s essential that you explain to your reader your reasons for writing. Here are some ways to do that:
- I am writing to apply for the position / role of summer camp leader.
- I am writing in reference to your recent advertisement.
- I am writing to complain about…
- I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with…
This is where you want to give the details of your application or your complaint. Keep referring back to the question, and remember to keep it formal:
Speaking about your experience and skills (Letter of application)
- I think I am suitable for the role because…
- I have X years experience working as a X.
- My qualifications include…
- I am currently working as a X
- In my spare time I enjoy…
- I am an avid basketball player/cricketer/volleyball player…
Explaining a problem and requesting action (Letter of complaint)
- Firstly/Secondly,…
- Unfortunately,…
- I am very dissatisfied with…
- As you can appreciate…
- I’m afraid that…
- Furthermore,…
Final Paragraph
Here is where you want to create a lasting impression on your reader. You also want to highlight some form of action you want them to take. Take a look at these different ways to do that:
- I very much hope you will…
- I look forward to hearing from you soon.
- I would appreciate it/ be grateful if…
- I trust you will…
Don’t forget to finish your B2 First formal email/letter with a friendly, but courteous closing phrase. Here are some examples:
- Yours sincerely, (if you know the name of the recipient)
- Yours faithfully, (if you don’t know the name of the recipient)
- Thank you for your consideration, (for a letter of application)
You should then write your full name beneath your sign-off.
Step Three: Check it
Make sure you leave five minutes at the end of the exam to proofread your email/letter and think about the following things:
- Have you answered all parts of the question?
- Is the tone formal and polite?
- Is your spelling, grammar and punctuation correct?
- Does it have paragraphs?
- Have you signed off appropriately
So, that’s it for how to write a B2 First formal email/letter. Don’t forget to check out our other B2 First articles on our blog. And we look forward to seeing you in one of Cambridge English summer preparation courses soon !

Cambridge B2 First (FCE): How to Write an Email/Letter
Informal email Hi David, How have you been? It’s really been ages since I last heard from you. I’m really stoked that your friends want to come to my area to learn about its past and I hope I can give you a couple of tips. If your friends want to see interesting places and learn something about Barcelona, they should absolutely swing by La Sagrada Familia or Casa Batlló where they can get tons of info about one of Barcelona’s most famous people Antoni Gaudí and modernism. In terms of getting around I would recommend grabbing one of the tourist tickets for public transport because it doesn’t cost the world and you can simply jump on all the buses, trains and even the metro, or your friends could rent a bike as everything’s close by in the city. Well, that’s all for now. I hope your friends are going to have a blast and drop me a line if you need anything else, OK? Have a good one and catch up soon. Best wishes, Phill
Formal letter Dear Mrs Hopkins, I am writing in regards to your advertisement which I found in the London Globe and I would like to apply to join your party on your trip around the globe. The opportunity sounds very attractive to me and I would love to join your group so as to broaden my knowledge of different cultures, cuisines and peoples. So far, I have travelled in Europe, especially in Spain and the UK, where I met many interesting people with whom I developed friendships that I value enormously in my life. As to what I can bring to the table, I believe that my social and cooking skills as well as my language abilities – I speak English, Spanish and German fluently – could tremendously benefit the group. Thank you in advance for considering my application. I am available for an interview Monday to Friday from 8 to 11 o’clock in the morning and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, Teacher Phill
Introduction
An email/a letter is written in response to the situation outlined in the question. Letters and emails in the B2 First Writing paper will require a response which is consistently appropriate in register and tone for the specified target reader. Candidates can expect to be asked to write letters or emails to, for example, an English-speaking friend or colleague, a potential employer, a college principal or a magazine editor.from: Cambridge English First Handbook for Teachers
So different and yet so similar
Alright, writing letters and emails is definitely a huge topic as there are some important differences between the two which you should absolutely know, and I thought about breaking this post up into two, but letters and emails in the FCE exam are also very similar so we’re going to make this happen in one article.
What a typical email/letter task looks like
As I said above, emails and letters in the FCE exam are similar yet different at the same time. We are going to have a look at certain things that apply to both types of task and an example task of either one to see what we need to do to get ready to write.
Do this for emails AND letters
Firstly, we want to see what to include in our email and, secondly, who we are writing to in order to choose the correct register. The best way to do this is to underline the key pieces of information. Because I’m a nice teacher I’ve already completed this step for you:
On top of that, when you write to a friend like David you have to write in an informal style. Generally speaking, this means that you should use contractions ( e.g. I’m, don’t), colloquial expressions (e.g. tons of, ‘What’s happening?’) as well as phrasal verbs and idioms (end up, ‘Guess what!’). Later in this article I will give you a list with very useful expressions specifically for writing emails and letters so keep reading until the end 🙂 .
How to organise your email/letter
We remember that there are three topic points in the task so we can already break up our letter into three paragraphs. On top of that, we have to add an opening and closing paragraph and formula simply because that’s what we do in emails and letters (I’m sure the same is done in your native language or country as well.), so we get to five paragraphs.
Don’t forget to plan your email/letter
The different parts of an email/letter, opening formula and paragraph.
Hi David, How have you been? It’s really been ages since I last heard from you. I’m really stoked that your friends want to come to my area to learn about its past and I hope I can give you a couple of tips.
Dear Mrs Hopkins, I am writing in regards to your advertisement which I found in the London Globe and I would like to apply to join your party on your trip around the globe.
Topic paragraphs
In general, we can give each topic point its own paragraph in which we do exactly what we are supposed to do. Of course, you can always change the order of the topic points or even combine two of them into a single paragraph, but you definitely can’t go wrong if you keep them separate.
If your friends want to see interesting places and learn something about Barcelona, they should absolutely swing by La Sagrada Familia or Casa Batlló where they can get tons of info about one of Barcelona’s most famous people Antoni Gaudí and modernism. In terms of getting around I would recommend grabbing one of the tourist tickets for public transport because it doesn’t cost the world and you can simply jump on all the buses, trains and even the metro, or your friends could rent a bike as everything’s close by in the city.
The opportunity sounds very attractive to me and I would love to join your group so as to broaden my knowledge of different cultures, cuisines and peoples. So far, I have travelled in Europe, especially in Spain and the UK, where I met many interesting people with whom I developed friendships that I value enormously in my life. As to what I can bring to the table , I believe that my social and cooking skills as well as my language abilities – I speak English, Spanish and German fluently – could tremendously benefit the group.
Closing paragraph and formula
Well, that’s all for now . I hope your friends are going to have a blast and drop me a line if you need anything else, OK? Have a good one and catch up soon. Best wishes , Phill
Thank you in advance for considering my application . I am available for an interview Monday to Friday from 8 to 11 o’clock in the morning and I look forward to hearing from you soon . Yours sincerely , Teacher Phill
