I am Yuka Sawano a local citizen from Melbourne, Australia. I am writing to inform you about a traditional restaurant called Miyagi downtown that I consider relevant for people to know. First of all, I went to a place that made me feel at home.
Firstly
, I went to the restaurant
last
 week with my family for my mum's birthday dinner.
Then
, we had coarse meals with local Japanese ingredients.
Finally
, we were very impressed by the local food because vegetables were brought from my grandparent's town.
On the other hand
, if you are from Japan and you feel hungry and homesick,
this
 place is a good option to cheer yourself up. There is a friendly customer service and inside the restaurant, there is a warm and emotional atmosphere.
Also
, food is given in high volume so if you cannot finish it, you can take it home. I would appreciate sharing
this
 information with everyone in the newspaper and showing how great
this
 place is. Sincerely, Yuka Sawano

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.
