I am writing
this
letter to inform you about a
road
issue which is outside my house on Avenue
Road
. My name is Ricky Tran, and I have been living at number 26 Avenue
Road
for 13 years. I have never had any complaint to the council before. Two weeks ago, a plothole appeared on the
road
in front of my house. I mean it is a large hole and on a rainy day, the hole is filled with water, so it might be dangerous for drivers who are not paying enough attention. The pothole is
also
an eyesore for those who are living in the vicinity. I have tried to call
to

, but nothing has been done. So, I would like to request you can address
this
matter as soon as possible. I look forward to the problem being resolved. Yours faithfully. Ricky Tran

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.
