The letter does well to convey the necessary details, but consider giving a bit more context about the importance or benefits of the project to strengthen the task response.
coherence cohesion
Ensure proper punctuation and grammar throughout the text, for example, replace "It will encompasses at all ages" with "It will encompass all ages."

task achievement
The purpose of the letter is clearly stated, and the main points are covered effectively.

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.
