Task response
Task response: The letter lacks clarity and organization. Address the decision to resign, the reasons, and the request for a reference letter more explicitly.
Coherence and cohesion
Coherence and cohesion: A more logical and structured flow is needed. Use appropriate transition words and organize ideas into paragraphs more effectively.
Lexical resource
Lexical resource: Expand your vocabulary and use more formal language appropriate for a professional letter. Avoid informal and awkward phrasing.
Grammatical range
Grammatical range: Pay attention to sentence structure, verb tenses, and word choice. Use complex and varied sentence structures for better fluency.

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.
