Formality in opening and closing
Begin by addressing the recipient more formally, with titles (e.g., "Dear Public Transport Authority"), and ensure the conclusion is also formally closed ("Yours sincerely,"). This will enhance the professionalism of your letter.
Single idea per paragraph
Ensure each paragraph focuses on a single idea - while you have done this well, expanding each idea with more support or examples could strengthen your argument.
Complete response with solutions
When explaining the issues you face, clearly outline the impact on you and suggest more specific improvements or solutions that could address these issues.
Logical structure
Work on improving the letter's logical structure by connecting ideas more smoothly between paragraphs. Use transitional phrases to guide the reader through your argument coherently.

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.
