Formal Letter Template — Free & Editable
A correctly formatted formal letter you fill in your browser and download as a tagged PDF.
Free in your browser · no account to try · no install
When it needs to look official — a request, a notice, a letter to an institution — the format matters as much as the words. This formal letter is already set up correctly: your address and the date, the recipient's block, a proper salutation, well-spaced body paragraphs, and a formal close. Write your message, add a paragraph, and the letter reflows to fit — the alignment and spacing stay exactly right. Export a clean, tagged PDF that reads as professionally as it looks.

How to write a Formal Letter
1
Open it — no sign-up
Hit “Open the template” and the letter loads into the ReflowPDF editor in your browser. Nothing to install, no account, no watermark to dodge.
2
Write your message
Click any line and type — the recipient, the subject, your request. Every paragraph reflows to fit, so the formatting never lurches or breaks.
3
Add or trim paragraphs
Say more or less as the situation needs. Everything below shifts on its own — spacing stays even and the close stays where it belongs.
4
Export a real PDF
Download a tagged, accessible PDF that reads correctly everywhere and prints clean — the formal document the occasion calls for.
5
Reuse the format
Your export keeps its editable source, so you reopen it, change the recipient and body, and send the next formal letter in the same correct format.
See it in the real editor
Real editor, real reflow: add a paragraph to the letter and everything below flows down — spacing and alignment stay correct.
Why write your formal letter in ReflowPDF
Rewrite it without breaking format
Formal letters live or die on formatting. Here every edit reflows — add a line, cut one, and the spacing and alignment stay correct instead of drifting.
A real PDF, not a flat image
The text stays live, selectable and crisp in print — instead of a flattened picture of a letter.
Tagged & accessible by default
Every export is a tagged PDF/UA file on every plan — proper structure and reading order, and a more professional document to send.
One correct format, reused
The embedded source means you reopen the letter, change the recipient and body, and keep the same correct formatting every time.
Template vs Word vs Canva
A Word template needs Word and drifts out of alignment as you edit; Canva gives you a flat image with no real structure. ReflowPDF keeps the letter a real, structured document: write it in the browser, watch the spacing hold, export a tagged PDF, and reopen it for the next one.
FAQ — formal letter template
Is the formal letter template free?
Yes — open it, edit it, and download a PDF on the free plan, watermark-free within a generous monthly limit. Paid plans lift the limits and add accessibility preflight.
Is this the correct business-letter format?
Yes. The sender and recipient blocks, date, salutation, body spacing and close follow standard formal-letter formatting — and it stays correct as you edit.
Will the alignment hold when I rewrite it?
Yes. Add or cut a paragraph and the letter reflows — spacing stays even, the close stays in place, and nothing drifts out of alignment.
Can I reuse it for different letters?
Yes. Your exported PDF carries an editable source, so you reopen it, change the recipient and message, and keep the same correct format.
Do I need to install anything?
No — it runs in your browser. Open, edit, download. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for to try it.
