Dear Sir, I am writing

this

letter to inform you that I will have to discontinue the part-time course “Introduction to Gerontology” which I am doing in the evening batch at DAV College, Jalandhar.

However

, I would like to thank you for making the subject very interesting and I would surely like to re-enrol in the

intake. The reason for dropping off from my course is that my father is not well. He had done serious brain surgery and has been hospitalized and I am a single child and I have to look after him with my mother. The course in Gerontology involves caring for the elderly. Today, we belong to an ageing society and we are a part of a greying population. After doing

this

subject, it would be very helpful for me in finding a job not only in the government sector but

also

in the private sector. I would appreciate it if you could reserve my seat in the

upcoming batch. I would be very thankful to you if you could refund me half the money because I need a lot of money for my fathers’ treatment. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, Prabh Kaur

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.

In this digitally advanced era, many countries are spending millions on space research every year, and this amount mostly belongs to the treasury of the country, which consists of money earned from taxes.
