Dear Sir/Madam, I writing to you to express my dissatisfaction about the condition in which our furniture is. My name is Robert and I have recently moved to Unit 305 with my family. The interior maintenance is great,
however
, furniture in our living room, dining room, and bedroom is either broken or missing pieces.
According to
 the tenant agreement we signed
last
 week, I believe that there were supposed to be two tables
along with
 four chairs in the house.
However
, we couldn't find
this
 accommodation anywhere in our place.
Therefore
, I would greatly appreciate it if you can make some arrangements to deliver four chairs to our door by
this
 weekend. As for the problem in our master bedroom, one of the supporting legs of the queen-size bed is broken which makes it impossible for my parents to properly rest.
That is
 to say, I am now less worried about the missing chairs than the broken bed.
Hence
, please send your repair person as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your response. Sincerely Yours, Robert Lee

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.
