suitable writing tone
You have addressed the main points of your query about the gym membership, but the tone can be a bit more casual since you are writing to a friend.
logical structure
Although you have given a background of yourself, the overall structure could be more logically organized. Try grouping similar information to make the letter flow better.
single idea per paragraph
You should ensure each paragraph focuses on a single idea. For instance, the introduction can be separate from the background information, and the details about your needs can be grouped together.
greeting and closing
The greeting and closing are appropriately used.
complete response
You provided a detailed description of the gym requirements and your current health situation.
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.
