last
month. I joined
this
course to improve my writing and speaking skills which would give me a career boost. As much as I enjoy the sessions, I am unable to cope with the workload of the course

my full-time job. I am currently employed as a software engineer and in most cases, I need to work late or attend meetings.

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.
