Dear Sir or Madam, I hope you are doing well. I am writing
this
letter to bring to your attention a severe risk in our community that some of the residents always let their dogs run wildly in the neighbourhood even though there are pedestrians nearby. I believe
this
is unacceptable because it is dangerous to people’s safety. Imagine how horrible it is if a passing by kid gets attacked by a dog
that is
not well-trained and off the lead. To avoid
this
happening, I would like to suggest that you put some notice boards in the community to warn the residents about
this
risk so they can walk their dogs on a leash. I know some people really love their dogs and they want their furry friends to run freely.
Therefore
, if it is possible, setting up a dog park would be the optimal solution for
this
problem. I would really appreciate it if you could address these concerns as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, Georgian Liu

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.
