suitable writing tone
Try to maintain a more formal tone throughout the letter. Phrases like 'drawing your attention' could be replaced with 'writing to inform' or 'writing to bring to your attention.'
logical structure
Ensure that you clearly structure your letter: introduction, body (explaining the problem and providing context), and conclusion (actions you want to be taken). This makes it easier to follow.
complete response
You have introduced yourself and explained the situation well with enough detail for the reader to understand the issue.
greeting and closing
The letter includes a closing that clearly states your expectations.
single idea per paragraph
Each paragraph covers a single idea, making your letter focused and easy to read.

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.
