Letters

We work with two different types of letters: friendly letters and business letters. Friendly letters are casual in style and a bit conversational, but they do not always have to be "friendly". A business letter is very formal and is used to request or give information in a businesslike way. Both have structures that must be followed exactly!

Dear Dewitt Farm:

We at the King Soil Company analyzed your soil. We did 4 tests.

The texture of your soil is sandy loam. It is sort of good for planting but you can make it better by adding clay and silt to create loam. Loam is the best texture.

The pH of your soil is 7.75. It is a little too basic. You can make it better by adding sulfur.

Your soil’s phosphorous and potassium levels are medium, which is fine. Your nitrogen is very low. To fix that you can add compost, fertilizer, and manure.

We only found 1 organism in your soil. That is a problem. You need to add organisms like worms. They help decompose things and they mix the soil. Sincerely, Kevin C. (tester #4)
