I recall "trawling the Net" some years back to find what a semi-formal letter 
is and not finding anything,as did some other  Etni colleague (can't remember 
who it was now)
So does it exist or not??

  Thanks for your reply, Sara!

  But I still don't get it- didn't the mikud say "semi-formal" for D ?
  Granted, when I checked just now online it just says letter, but our
  staff was very sure we were talking about semi-formal. Did the mikud 
  change or am I just having an episode...?

  This is the ONE issue for which the mikud in English has any real
  significance, and I still can't get it.

  Can anyone help me here?

  Thanks!
