General advice
It is essential to use clear and appropriate greetings (e.g., 'Dear Mr. Smith,' instead of 'Dr. Mr Smith') and closings ('Yours sincerely' when the name is known). This would enhance the letter's professionalism and tone.
Task Response
Use vivid and specific examples to describe the problems caused by the electricity breakdown. Details about how it affects work deadlines, the inconvenience it causes in your daily activities, and the impact on equipment would help clarify the situation further.
Coherence and Cohesion
To improve coherence, ensure there is a smooth and logical flow of ideas from one paragraph to the next. Stick to one idea per paragraph, starting with an introduction to the problem, followed by specific examples of the inconveniences, and concluding with a polite request for a resolution.
General advice
Review common phrases and formal language suitable for letter writing. Avoid colloquial expressions and ensure the use of formal language throughout to maintain a suitable writing tone.

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.
