this
letter to find out more information/advice about a part-time
job
in London. I am pretty sure you are aware that, I am starting my MSc in Building Services Engineering in October at London South Bank University. I checked my schedule, and I am required to be in the classroom only two days a week, which is Tuesday and Thursday,

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.
