Dear Sir or Madam, I recently received confirmation that I have gained a place on the M.Sc. Microbiology course at your university, starting
this
September, and am writing to you with regard to arranging for compromise. My student registration number is 123456. I understand that you offer compromise both on and off-campus, the latter costing between £15 and £30 per week. I would prefer to live off-campus in a house with two or three other students, each the
student having his/her own room, ideally within a 30-minute walk of the university. I have budgeted for rent of £20 per week. If possible, I would like to remain in the same accommodation for the entire duration of my course, i.e. two academic years. I do not have any special requirementsCorrect article usage

but would prefer to share the accommodation with students my age (I am 25) who are actively interested in the sport. I myself am a keen rugby player. I do not mind whether the other students are on a similar course to me or not. I would be grateful if you could send me details of two or three choices at your earliest convenience. Yours faithfully, Andrew ScottRemove the comma

Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
