Dear Sir, I am writing
this

last
week. I know that one of our valuable client orders has been cancelled because of not meeting their deadlines within a given time. I really felt worried and let me give you a chance to explain my hectic situation. I have working sincerely on that task and am almost at the final level to it complete. Due to my father's ,condolence I am not able to work

this
project cancellation. I will work on the

this
cost. Thanks for your consideration and hope will get a good opportunity to express my effort on the
next
project. Yours sincerely Karthi

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.
