Greeting and Closing
Ensure proper use of salutations and closures in your letter. For a formal letter, consider using 'Dear Sir/Madam' and ending with 'Yours faithfully,' followed by your full name.
Logical Structure
Organize the letter into clear paragraphs with distinct purposes: introduction, reason for writing, explaining suitability, and future plans in Australia. This enhances readability and coherence.
Suitable Writing Tone
Use a more formal tone throughout the letter by avoiding conversational phrases and ensuring correct grammar and punctuation. Formal letters require a level of professionalism in language.
Complete Response
Address all parts of the task by ensuring each requested point (why you want the job, suitability, and plans in Australia) is fully expanded upon with specific examples and clear explanations.
Single Idea per Paragraph
Maintain a clear focus on each paragraph's main idea. Start each paragraph with a topic sentence and develop that idea fully before moving onto the next paragraph.

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.
