#friends #city #place #type #you’re #fun

Hi friends! As you all know by now, I’ll soon be moving to Los Angeles with the rest of you. The problem is, I’m not sure yet where I should live or what to do after I get there. I would like to find a place

that is

relatively inexpensive, but

also

in a safe area. It would be great if it is just a one bedroom

that is

also

close to a laundry facility. I don’t mind if it is a bit far from the university, but I would prefer it to be within walking distance to good restaurants and the beach, if possible. Can anyone help? Have any of you learned how to surf yet? I’ve been watching tutorial videos and I think it would be really fun to try and learn. Please let me know if any of you can help me with my request, thank you. Sincerely, Beth

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.
