My name is Shikha, and I am a member of the ABC band. We have been using the TDI community hall for the
last
1 year to practice.
This
Sunday, we got a call that we cannot use the hall from now onwards. As you know, we do our practice every Tuesday and Friday evening so that we can perform on weekends. Our group performs to do charity to orphanages with the money collected from the entry fee. So, we want our group to perform till we can.
Moreover
, people
also
enjoy listening to our songs. We help them to feel relaxed and spend quality time with their family. I would request you to please allow us to keep doing rehearsals as
that is
needed. If you say we can change our days to Wednesday and Thursday it is not an issue. I hope you will look into our problem. Looking forward to your positive reply. Yours Sincerely, Shikha

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.
