[etni] marking formal letters

**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il   http://www.etni.org   ****



Can you help?

      I have always taught my students to  address their letters to:  The 
Editor, The Manager, The Secretary etc and write Dear Sir/Madam.   In 
'Summit'  the letter format suggests that students give the person a name.   
  Hence, writing Sir/Madam is no longer required since Dear Mr, Blank is now 
correct.

     I have always taught my students NOT to invent names since they are 
supposed to use the correct Bagrut format for formal letter writing and use 
'Dear Sir or Madam' .

     Are marks taken off for inventing a name (not given in any text) and 
writing 'Dear Mr. Blank' instead of the correct Bagrut format?

Many thanks to those in the know,
Enjoy life,
Patricia
