Formal Letter (Surat resmi) adalah surat yang dibuat suatu instansi, organisasi atau lembaga perusahaan tertentu yang ditujukan kepada seseorang atau lembaga tertentu lainnya. Keberadaan instansi, lembaga, organisasi dan perusahaan tersebut disahkan secara hukum. Contoh surat resmi adalah surat dinas, surat niaga, dan surat sosial.
