I am writing to inform you that I am unable to continue volunteering at your organization, Seattle Local Soup Kitchen, from
next
Monday. My responsibilities included serving soup and clearing the tables every Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Since my final exams and project submission deadlines are approaching, I will not be able to participate in the volunteer work. Even though I immensely enjoy the job, I need to spend more time studying for the examination. After I complete my semester, I would love to return. Meanwhile, I can recommend my friend as my replacement.
My friend Lily also
enjoys volunteering, and she has worked in a soup kitchen before. I assure you she will be able to fulfill
all the responsibilities without any problems or hesitation. She is available to cover all my shifts and is flexible if the schedule changes. I am attaching her details with Change the spelling
fulfil
this
letter.
I look forward to hearing from you, and I hope you will take my recommendation under consideration
Yours faithfully

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.
