has arrived at least 10 minutes late each day, and I have been unable to find a seat due to overcrowding. Passengers are becoming increasingly frustrated. I have seen several people complain to members of your staff that the delays are making them late for work, and the overcrowding means that many of us are forced to stand in the central aisle of the

Another solution would be to add an extra carriage to trains at peak times in order to provide more space. I hope you will address these concerns as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, Paul Jones

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.

Customers, who come from different places, can buy multiple meals and snacks, which are produced in other countries, in a supermarket in the present. It brings a pro and con for the nation's society and their economy. In my opinion, this situation is a positive development rather than a negative development. The following essay will discuss the world issue.

Health problems caused by the excessive consumption of fast foods have assumed epidemic proportions all over the world. According to some people, it is important to impose a high tax on junk food to discourage people from eating such foods. In my opinion, this will deter only the middle and lower income groups.
