Yo, I have recently stayed at your
hotel
 - Pan Pacific Perth, in
room
 324 for three nights. I am writing to inform you that the
room
 heating was ineffectual and despite a great location and friendly staff, I have had a bad experience staying at your
hotel
. I am hoping you would repair the central heating
system
 so that no guest suffers
due to
 the extreme weather. I stayed at your
hotel
 from 25th May till 27th May and had an excruciating experience as your heating
system
 in my
room
 did not work as expected. The temperature in the city was somewhat unexpected and fell below 7° Celcius during
this
 period. When I found that the
room
 temperature was not comfortable, I called the front desk executive and despite his promise, nothing was done. Because of the extreme cold in the
room
, I had to wear socks and a knit hat, take an additional blanket and put on the electric stove all night.
Consequently
, I got very little sleep over the three nights. I think it would be a good idea to repair the central heating
system
 and be prepared for unusual weather. A
room
 heating
system
 for each
room
along with
 the central heating
system
 in the winter would certainly make the rooms more comfortable. Perhaps you would consider giving me a discount if I stay at your
hotel
 next time. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Bye you

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.
