Greeting and Closing
Ensure that the greeting and closing of the letter are appropriate to the formality required. The candidate should use 'Dear Mrs Barrett' at the beginning and close with 'Yours sincerely,' if the surname is known, which reflects the formal nature of the task.
Logical Structure and Idea Per Paragraph
The candidate should structure the letter into clear paragraphs, each addressing a different aspect of the task, e.g., how they can help, why they want the job, and availability. The presented letter has insufficient paragraphing and mixes multiple ideas in single paragraphs.
Complete Response
The response must be fully developed with relevant details to address all three bullet points proposed in the task equally, ensuring that the reasons for wanting the job and the specific time availability are clearly stated.
Suitable Writing Tone
Adopt a tone that is consistently formal throughout the letter to align with the task type. Casual language and informal expressions should be avoided in this context.
