I am writing with regard to a flight that I missed due to a mistake by one of your employees. Two weeks ago I was due to catch a flight to Rome, where I intended to spend four days on holiday. Unfortunately, the attendant at the check-in desk gave me a boarding card for a different flight, and I did not notice the mistake until I arrived at the departure gate and it was too late. As a result of the error, I was not allowed to board the flight to Rome, and this caused me great inconvenience. I had to book a new flight two days later, which meant that I missed two days of my holiday and I spent an extra £200. As the mistake was caused by your company, I hope that you will compensate me for the cost of the additional flight, as well as for my taxi fares to and from the airport. I look forward to receiving your response. Yours faithfully, Paul Jones 信件2： Dear John, I’m just writing to let you know that I’ve moved house. As you know, I went for an interview for a job here in London. Well, they gave me the position! It would have been impractical to travel down from Manchester every day, so we’ve found a house here, in a nice part of London called Greenwich. Our new house isn ideal. London prices are crazy, and we were only able to afford a one-bedroom flat. But on the bright side, it’s on the ground floor, it’s got nice big windows, and a lovely view out onto the garden. If you ever fancy a trip to London, you’re more than welcome to come and stay. It would be great to see you. From where we live, it’s only a quick ride on the underground into the city centre, so we could do some sight-seeing together. Keep in touch! All the best Mike 答案是第一封正式，第二封非正式。理由如下： Formal letter 正式信件 Beginning: Dear Sir or Madam 用Dear Sir or Madam开头 Stating the purpose: I am writing with regard to 用“I am writing with regard to”说明目的 Formal choice of language: due to, I intended, as a result of, caused me great inconvenience, compensate me, the additional flight 使用以下正式词汇：due to, I intended, as a result of, caused me great inconvenience, compensate me, the additional flight No contractions: I am (not "Im") 不使用缩写：写成I am而不是Im Ending: I look forward to receiving your response.
