Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure that the structure of your letter is clear and logical, with a distinct opening, development of your situation, and a clear request or conclusion. Each paragraph should introduce or elaborate on a single idea.
Coherence and Cohesion
Your letter should start with a specific greeting to the person you are addressing, such as 'Dear Professor Smith,' if you know their name. If not, 'Dear Sir or Madam,' is acceptable but less personal. Close your letter appropriately, using 'Yours sincerely,' (if you know the name of the person) or 'Yours faithfully,' (if you do not know the name of the person).
Task Achievement
Address all parts of the task prompt. In your case, the letter should introduce yourself in the context of the course, explain your situation, and make a polite request for an extension. Ensure you've answered each part comprehensively.
Task Achievement
Adopt a suitable writing tone for formal correspondence. Avoid using informal language and make sure your reasons for requesting an extension are clearly explained and sound professional. It's also important to proofread your writing to avoid errors that might make your request seem less serious or professional.
