coherence cohesion
Ensure the letter has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Work on creating a logical flow between paragraphs for enhanced coherence.
task achievement
While you addressed the main purpose of the letter, including specific details about your experience and how you can contribute to the child's well-being/development would strengthen your task response.

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.
