Dear Miller, It is been a long time since we met after graduation. Hope are you doing well. I felt so happy to hear that you are planning to marry by
next
month at hotel Budhil park, London. I am writing to inform you that I am not going to attend your marriage due to unforeseen circumstances that can'
t
deny. As you know, I have been working at a multinational organization, in Sydney. Recently I have been promoted to the position of general manager, good news right, isn'
t
it ?, so, I need to join by the
next
month and report to my headquarters.
Moreover
, my itinerary has been scheduled which I can'
t
postpone indeed. Please excuse my request, and I would cherish to invite you to my home country, Australia. My wife and parents want to see you as well. In fact, we can spend some time together while involving scuba diving, and hiking activities. As you know Australia is one of the best places in the world. A gentle reminder- Don'
t
forget to bring your camera along with winter clothing. I gotta go now. We can talk later, I like to hear from you soon. Best wishes, Ravi

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.
