I have to leave
this
place starting next month. I can imagine that
this
news must have come as a bit of a shock. The reason behind
this
move is an amazing job offer that I have got in my field for which I was waiting, impatiently.
This
job is located in Ottawa and the company is paying for my move and accommodation as well.
This
is a critical opportunity for me and I cannot let it slide at any cost.
Additionally
, I wanted to give you a big thanks for being so understanding and cooperative during my stay.
Moreover
, I will drop the keys in a week from now and would like to recommend my friend for
this
place as the next tenant after me. I can personally take a guarantee for him as he is a very well-educated and well-behaved person. You would never come to hear any complaints regarding him. I would be happy to share your contact information with him if you are interested in the offer. Best regards, Jasmeen Kaur.

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.
