Clearly delineate sections of your letter with more distinct paragraphing and transition phrases to enhance the flow of information.
coherence and cohesion
Consider using a friendly closing statement that reiterates your willingness to help and provide a specific date and time for the meeting, enhancing personal connection.
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.
