coherence cohesion
The greeting and closing need improvement. Use 'Dear Hiring Manager' as a suitable greeting and 'Yours sincerely' as a suitable closing.
task achievement
Ensure that all of the points mentioned in the task prompt are addressed clearly and adequately. Also, maintain a consistent and formal tone throughout the letter.

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.
