Turn formal letter notes into a mind map you can edit
Paste your class notes or upload a PDF, and DeckOwl builds a mind map of the parts of a formal letter that you can expand, rearrange, and explore.
Why a custom map beats a generic chart
A mind map for formal letters works best when it reflects the version your teacher or textbook uses, since business and academic letters can follow slightly different rules for headings and salutations. Printable charts are easy to find, but they rarely match your course.
- Keeps the parts of a letter in the order your course uses
- Shows tone rules next to the sections they affect
- Lets you add examples under each branch as you study
- Works from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes, or photos of pages
Editable branches
Rename, move, or add branches so the map matches the format your teacher or textbook uses.
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes, or a photo of a handout and get a map based on that exact text.
Explorable structure
Expand each branch to see the details, like salutations or closings, without scrolling through a long outline.
How it works
Add your notes
Upload a file or paste the section on formal letters from your course notes.
Generate the map
DeckOwl organizes the material into a main topic with branches for format, tone, and sign-off.
Edit and study
Adjust the branches, then study the map in your browser on the free plan.
Start with your own notes or a PDF of the reading, and the map will group sender details, purpose, tone, and closing into branches you can edit. You can then add the rules your instructor emphasizes.
Once the map is clear, quiz yourself on each branch until you can rebuild the layout from memory.

Frequently asked questions
What belongs in the heading of a formal letter?
The sender's address and the date usually come first, followed by the recipient's name, title, and organization address. Check your course format because some styles order these lines differently.
How do I choose the right salutation?
Use the recipient's title and last name, such as Dear Ms. Smith, when you know who will read it. Use To Whom It May Concern only when you cannot identify a specific person.
Can I export the mind map?
Exports such as PDF and DOCX are part of the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study the map in the browser without exports.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email address.
