Diary Entry
Monday
9:30 P.M.
Dear Diary,
Today at work, something really funny happened. I work at the post office, and we get all sorts of letters. But today, we got one that made me laugh. It was from a guy named Lencho, and he wrote a letter to God!
In the letter, Lencho was upset because he only got seventy pesos out of the money he asked for. He said he really needed the rest but didn't want to receive it through the mail because he thought we were all crooks. Can anyone believe this?
Reading that made me smile. Is there anyone who writes a letter to God complaining about us? But it also made me wonder why Lencho felt that way. Was he really in trouble? Can’t he understand that God won’t send any money?
Anyway, I can't do anything about it. I just filed the letter away with the others. It's definitely a story I'll remember!

‘Description of the Tree Diagram’
Introduction:
The Given diagram is a Tree diagram. Tree diagrams are very useful tools because they can clearly and visually represent hierarchical structures. This tree diagram is about ‘Types of Letters’ and their classification.
Description:
Letters
are broadly classified into two. They
are ‘Informal Letters’ and ‘Formal Letters’. Informal Letters are letters which
are generally written to friends, family members and to our acquaintances.
Formal letters are
again divided into two types. They are Official Letters and Business Letters.
The first category is ‘Official Letters’ and they are generally written to
officials. Letters to offices, letters
to higher authorities, letters of Resignation etc come under this
category.
The second category is ‘Business Letters’ and these letters are used for business correspondence. Letters to clients, letters to companies, letters to make orders, letters to make sales etc come under this category.
Conclusion:
This tree diagram gives us a clear picture to understand the types of letters written. It also explains the different types of letters and how they can be used in different situations. This diagram is really simple to remember the kinds of letters available in real-life usage.
