Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
 letter to request you to extend me a student visa as my visa going to expire in June month and I want to study
further
 for a short term. I have been here for the
last
 two years and have completed my master's in computer which I found worth it. Because of no experience in my field, It would be hard to get a job in the market and that's why I decided to do one of the short-term courses which is based on practicals rather than theory.
This
 course will help me to get practical knowledge which will enhance my skills ultimately. I have applied for
this
 program which will require three months of class practice, but as my visa going to expire next month , It is my humble request to you give me an extension on my stay to complete my dream. If you require any information, please let me know. Looking forward to hearing from you. Your Faithfully, Ankit

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.
