✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?

Dear Sir or Madam, It is my pleasure to write to you for the position which you have advised in an Australian magazine. From your advertisement, I have learned that you need a person who is able to live with you and look after a child who is 6 years old. Let me explain to you why I am a suitable person for

this

position in detail. The first thing I would like to address is to explain the reason why I am interested in

this

spot. The reason would be that I am good at taking care of

children

, and deep down, child care is my passion, and I would like to become a professional child carer in the future. The second reason is that I have the experience of looking after

children

This

means that I fully understand what a person needs to do if he or she is a carer because I had a job which is a day-care centre job. In detail, looking after

children

means that I need to babysit

children

In addition

, I need to cook meals for

children

children

children

Therefore

, I believe that I have experience which is suitable for your requirements. The second thing I would like to express is what I do in my free time when I am in your country. I will be in your country around next month, and I am available from 10 am to 6pm for work. My free time is at night. I think I will go for a walk after work and perhaps I will go movies once a month. I love reading as well, if I am not going out, I might just stay at home to read. I hope I have answered all your questions and if you do have any, please contact me with any hesitation. Have a nice day! Looking forward to your reply. kind regards,

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.

To overcome these challenges, dependency on technology should be alleviated, and human interaction should be promoted.
