Dear Sir, My name is Alex Mathew and I am writing
this
letter regarding renting an extra
room
in my flat. I am a resident of Model Town and my apartment is on the
second
floor of the Sky Towers.
This
place is quite near to the college as it takes only 15 minutes by walking to reach college. Apart from
this
, there is
also
a good service of local buses which runs every 15 minutes from the stop in front of the apartments. I would like to inform you that
this
room
is lying vacant since my son moves to another city two months ago for one
year
. Renting
this
room
to any student not only helps me earn some money
,
Remove the comma

show examples
but
also
assists the college in finding rooms for the students. Talking about the nature of the tenant, it would be better if final
year
students are referred for
this
room
. Since
this
room
is available for at most one
year
, it would become easier for the
last
year
students to leave after one
year
. Hope you will look into my request.

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.
