How do you write a letter to request land?

Answer 1

A business letter of request should follow this general outline:

First paragraph, state why you are writing:

• This letter is to request...
• I am writing to request...

Second paragraph, give the basic information supporting the request. This can actually be more than one paragraph or if several facts are necessary, use bullets. Don't use emotional language or go off the target of your objective.

Third paragraph, tell the addressee what you want them to do or what you want to happen (this is called the 'call to action paragraph'). Include your contact phone number and e-mail address at the end to be sure it's easy for the addressee to find. Always end a business letter by thanking the recipient for their time and consideration.

Answer 2

First, think about what whether you need a formal or informal style. For example, a letter to your aging grandmother asking for a land transaction can be more informal. A letter to a government official needs to be business formal style.

For a business letter, find out the exact person's name and title who needs to see your letter. I'm not familiar with the various offices in other countries, but if you can, call the office to ask for the person's name. IF you cannot get a specific name, then use the Title of the person. For example, in the US, land (deed) transactions are handled by persons with the job title, The Recorder of Deeds (in each County, State).

At the top of your letter, on the right, put your return street address, city, State, Zip Code. Skip 2 lines and on the right side put the person's name/Title, their address, street, City, State, Zip Code.

Address the person formally, such as: Dear Honorable Judge Markus B. Surname with a comma after the name. If you only have a title, use the title: Dear Recorder of Deeds with a comma after it.

Next, think about the purpose of the letter. This portion is unclear in your question here. Think about what you want to request, then, state it simply and clearly.

Consider whether you have other information to include, or specific limitations you have on your request, such as a desired deadline for a reply.

In business letters, always end by thanking the person/Official. Then, skip a couple lines, type the words Sincerely yours, and sign your name in cursive writing (American English, British English) or whatever is formal writing in your country.

Under your signature, print or type your name.

Note: Business or formal letters should be typed. If you have no way to type it, write very neatly.

I'll try to give an example of a letter to a made up City I'll call Baga and country that I'll call BagaHaga.

Dear Honorable Judge Markus B. Surname,

My name is (full legal name). I have been informed through postal mail from your office, received yesterday October 10, 2015, that I won the official Land Lottery held in Baga each year. I understand this gives me permission to request five (5) acres of land within Section B within the city of Baga. This letter is my request to take possession of these acres.

I further understand that I must review a map to identify the section of land which I prefer along with a second selection if the first has already been claimed. Please advise the date(s) and time(s) I can visit the Court of Land Jurisdiction to make my selections.

Please also advise what fees I must pay before taking ownership of the property. I hope to take ownership as soon as possible.

Thank you and the Courts of BagaHaga for offering this Land Lottery to farmers of Baga. I look forward to expanding my agricultural pursuits.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely.
