 letter to apply for part-time voluntary work at your museum. Since childhood, I have been extremely passionate about helping people around me. I have read more about your museum in the newspaper and on your website. From it, I was inspired to do voluntary work for your museum, and I realized that helping other people gives me more satisfaction in life.

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.
