The two options the writer should consider changing in the formal letter are:
A: The greeting should end with a colon.
C: A subject line should be added to the heading.
These changes would enhance the formality and clarity of the letter. Option B is unnecessary since the date is already included. Option D may not be required depending on the style guide being followed, and Option E is not appropriate for formal letters where typically only the last name is used in the greeting.
