You do NOT need to write any addresses.
Begin your letter as follows:
Dear ................. ,
There are three main things to consider before writing your essay:
1. Tone (formal or informal)
Sometimes students are friendly with their tutors, but I think it would be better to write a formal letter. Start with your tutor’s surname (e.g. Dear Mr. Smith,) and end with “Yours sincerely,”. Avoid contractions (write “I am” instead of “I’m”), and avoid using informal idioms or expressions. Be polite rather than friendly.
2. Purpose
The main purpose of this letter is to inform your tutor that you are leaving the course. Make this clear straight away (e.g. I am writing to inform you that...). Then cover the three points, writing a short paragraph for each.
3. Ideas
I recommend spending a few minutes planning ideas for each of the task points before you start writing. You need to decide what the evening course is about, what your full-time job is, a reason why you are too busy with work to continue with the course, and whether you want to leave completely or perhaps continue at a later date.
You should write at least 150 words.

The table provides data on employment by sector of the economy and age group. The majority of workers aged 16-24 are employed in the service sector, followed by retail, while the construction and agriculture sectors have the lowest employment numbers in this age group. The service sector continues to be the largest employer for workers aged 25-34, followed by construction and retail. In the 35-44 age group, construction and retail have nearly equal employment numbers, followed by the service sector. For workers aged 45-54, construction and retail are again the largest employers, followed by the service sector. In the oldest age group, 55 and above, the service sector is the largest employer, followed by retail and construction. The data shows a clear pattern of the service sector being the largest employer across all age groups, with the exception of the 35-44 age group where construction and retail have nearly equal employment numbers. There is also a decrease in employment in the construction and agriculture sectors for younger age groups and an increase in these sectors for older workers. The table highlights the importance of the service sector in providing employment opportunities, as well as the fluctuations in the construction and retail sectors based on age groups.
The diagram illustrates the multitude of steps a book undergoes before being published. Overall, there are nine stages a manuscript goes through before being released to the readership. After being written, the manuscript is sent from the writer to the publishing house in order to be meticulously analyzed and studied. Once the book is validated, a contract between the author and the publisher has to be agreed upon and signed. The next step consists of designing the layout for the book using computer science, before getting the final validation. Then comes the moment of printing, in other words, put the data from a digital form to a paper form. The printing is followed by the bookbinding. In fact, the editor chooses the correct format of the manuscript. Finally, the volume can be delivered to many bookshops so it can be commercialized. All the process takes approximately a timespan of 18 to 24 months. To conclude we can say that the release of a writing production in a paper format, no matter the literature genre (not gender) of it, needs numerous steps. These are 9 stations to be exact, and require full collaboration between a publishing house and the author.
