of my son, house and pet for the

two weeks, starting tomorrow. I
also
wanted to update you regarding my son's schedule. He usually wakes up around 7:30, an hour before his bus comes to pick him. I have already got the grocery for the time I will be away. He is fine getting cereals and milk by himself. His school is from 9 AM till 2 PM and comes back home around 2:30. He is served lunch in school, so you should not be worried about lunch. The pets mostly stay in the garden, as it is summer and have a separate room outside of the house. You might have to provide them food around 12 PM, they are trained for everything else.
Also
, an evening walk is something they love to do around 6 in the evening. I know you love evening walks too, so should not be a problem for you. Other than these, there are few favors regarding household, I would need from you.
Firstly
, we have been having plumbing issue in the upper guest room. Plumber will visit on coming Thursday around 1 PM.
Lastly
, there was an electricity bill due, which I forgot to pay. It would be great if you can do the payments. I will transfer the amount on my return. Thank you again for helping me out with these 2 weeks. I am sure I can return the favor in some time near future. Regards, Pranam

The Greeting

Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.

Always start an informal letter in the ways:

  • Dear + name
  • Hi / Hello + name

‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.

For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:

  • Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
  • Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
