coherence cohesion
Your letter could be more clearly structured by dividing it into paragraphs: one for your introduction, one for your educational background, one for your rationale for the course, and one for your request for further information.
task achievement
There are a few grammatical errors and awkward phrases that should be corrected for greater clarity. For example, instead of 'isoffering,' it should be 'is offering,' and 'Along with that i pursued' should be 'Along with that, I pursued'.
coherence cohesion
The greeting and closing are appropriately formal and fit the tone of the letter well.
task achievement
You successfully cover the significant points that need to be addressed: your background, the course you are interested in, and the information you need.

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.
