Ansh a year ago> Anup SheteDear Anup,This is business letter format andyou are going to write a businessletter there and using upper case insubject line is completely fine as thesubject line is the first thing that areader reads and this need a properemphasis which is provided by usingupper case letters. The rule you areciting that upper case showsshouting that is limited to thechatting etiquettes not with businessletter. S don't get confused here andlearn this format.
