For those familiar with uk english writing formalities, can you please confirm the letter writing protocol in relation to a letter send by a business (specifically a law firm) for the following:
1. For a letter addressed Dear Sirs/Yours faithfully, must the body of the text always be written in the plural "we" or can it be written in the first person "I"?
2. For a letter addressed Dear Mr [ ]/Yours sincerely, must the body of the letter always be written in the first person "I" or can the letter ever be written in the plural "we"?
Thanks
