What works well
3Your letter displays a clear and appropriate structure, with a suitable greeting, body, and closing.
The task was fully achieved, with all parts of the question addressed thoroughly.
You used a friendly and appropriate tone, making the letter engaging and personal.
Improvement Suggestions
3Try to maintain a consistent thread of topic within each paragraph to enhance clarity and coherence.
While your enthusiasm is clear, ensuring that each paragraph focuses more distinctly on one aspect can help with readability.
For even better structure, consider briefly summarizing your request and excitement about moving in the concluding lines.
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.
