Hope you're doing well. It's been so long since I've heard from you. I am writing to let you know that I have recently changed my

job

and I really like it. I’m sure you’ll be amazed when you read

this

but now, I live in Toronto! I think it sounds great, doesn't it? OK, let's talk about everything in order. I am sure, I’ve told you about a vacancy announcement with attractive conditions and the ability to relocate to Canada. You know, I was eagerly looking forward to moving to Canada with my family, don’t you? So, in short, I responded to

this

vacancy, and,

as a result

, received the coveted

job

offer. To be honest, I wasn’t professionally satisfied with my previous

job

, it wasn’t getting many chances to

further

my career. Now I am working as a business analyst in a company, which develops real-time AI video monitoring and analytics system for both family caregiving and workplace safety prevention. In

this

role, I am engaged with the process engineering team to define and guide data visualization requirements. I am truly excited about

this

new

job

! I would

also

like to inform you that we have

finally

bought a car. It is a

second

-hand car;

however

, it is in good condition. So far, I’m enjoying my new life here and all the new experiences. I hope you could visit us soon. How are things back home in the USA? I am eagerly waiting to hear from you soon. Warm wishes, Olya

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.
