What is the Meaning of Missive | Definition and What is Missive

Do latin missus, a conjugation of the verb mittĕre ("send; reset'), a letter is the letter that is sent to someone. A letter is a written message (of paper) (transmitter) sender sends to a consignee (receiver).
Examples: "I just received a missive of my Italian cousins', 'the young man blushes and, at the request of the Princess, he confesses that he had never written a letter of love", "the missives exchanged between the two diplomats saved the world of a new world war.
Typically, the message is sent in an envelope. On the front of the envelope, the name and address of the recipient are indicated, while the reverse must bear the name and address of the sender. These data allow the factor back to the proper recipient and that it knows who is the sender.
The missives can have different characteristics depending on the distance between the transmitter and the receiver. We can therefore distinguish between familiar missives (directed to a member of the family), the informal missives (addressed to friends, in colloquial language) and official or formal missives (with courtesy and language which marks a distance between the sender and recipient). An informal letter may begin with a phrase such as ' Hi yourself!» How's it going long? «While a formal or informal missive may indicate "Dear Mr Director: the undersigned, Mr. and Mrs.» Ferrara wishes to inform you that... ».
At the present time, the classic missives (paper and printed) fell into disuse due to the advantages of electronic mail (e-mail).
