The Formal Letter
Portuguese formal letters follow strict conventions for structure and tone:
Opening greetings:
- Exmo. Senhor / Exma. Senhora (Dear Sir / Dear Madam) - most formal
- Caro(a) Senhor(a) (Dear Sir/Madam) - slightly less formal
- Vossa Excelência (Your Excellency) - for authorities
Opening the body:
- Venho por este meio solicitar... (I hereby request...)
- Dirijo-me a V. Exa. para... (I address Your Excellency to...)
- Serve a presente para informar que... (This letter serves to inform that...)
Closing formulas:
- Sem mais de momento, subscrevo-me com elevada consideração. (Without further ado, I subscribe with high regard.)
- Aguardando a sua resposta, apresento os meus melhores cumprimentos. (Awaiting your reply, I present my best regards.)
The formal register requires consistent use of the third person (V. Exa.) and avoidance of contractions or colloquialisms.
