tone and coherence
Begin with a proper salutation that includes the recipient's name if known, otherwise 'Dear Hiring Manager' is preferable over 'Dear SIr or Madam,' to avoid typographical errors and improve professionalism.
structure
Use paragraphing to organize your letter efficiently; start with your introduction and intent, followed by your experience and skills, and conclude with your interest and availability. Each section should be a separate paragraph for clarity.
grammar and punctuation
Proofread your letter to correct spelling and grammatical errors (e.g., 'I am post graduate student of the Dhakila Unviversity,' should be 'I am a postgraduate student at Dhakila University') and ensure proper punctuation and capitalization for a professional tone.
content depth
Include specific examples of your responsibilities and achievements in your previous job to strengthen your claim of having the required qualifications and proficiencies.
closing and professionalism
Polish your closing statement by ensuring it sounds professional and eager but not overly assumptive of the outcome (e.g., 'I look forward to the possibility of discussing this exciting opportunity with you.'). Attach your CV as mentioned, but remember not to mention it in the letter itself as it could be seen as a professional faux pas; instead, ensure it's actually attached to the email or application.
Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
