Discourse analysis is a major field in linguistics. Based on the theory of systemic functional linguistics and 90 collected letters of claims, the thesis intends to analyze their situation context and genre, and within register, to discuss the relation between choices on meaning and the realization of ideational, interpersonal and textual metafunctions. It is expected that the analysis model and conclusions should be helpful to ESP teaching methodology.
