Greeting Consistency
Begin by ensuring grammatical accuracy and consistency in your greeting. It should either be 'Dear Sir or Madam,' or 'Dear [specific name],' but not mixed as 'Dear Sir,'.
Logical Structure
Organize your letter into clear paragraphs, each representing a distinct idea: introduction of the issue, detailed explanation, and a proposed solution.
Cohesive Devices
Improve cohesion by transitioning smoothly between paragraphs and sentences. Use linking phrases such as 'As a result,' 'Therefore,' or 'Consequently.'
Tone Consistency
Adhere strictly to formal tone and register throughout the letter. Avoid colloquial language and ensure that your writing is appropriately formal for communication with the council.
Closing Consistency
Conclude your letter with a strong closing that restates your main request or concern. A formal sign-off, 'Yours sincerely,' (when the name is known) or 'Yours faithfully,' (when it's 'Sir/Madam') is recommended.
Task Response
For a better task response, make sure to address all aspects of the prompt thoroughly. Provide specific examples, state your problem clearly, explain its impact on you, and detail your proposed solution with clarity.
