Hello, dear sir/madam.
I'm writing to you with the purpose of checking the status of the babysitter which you are looking for.
I have seen the ad in some Australian magazine, and I realised that it may be my best chance to see your beautiful country.
Let me, please, introduce myself. My name is Anastassia, 25 years old. I graduated from the university
this
year with a degree in social work. I want to have a gap year between a study and a job. Moreover
, right now I'm looking for some opportunity for it.
Furthermore
, I have like 2 years of experience with toddlers, I worked a part-time job in the kindergarten during my studies. I like children, and I believe that I have many skills for this
work.
Secondly
, I have dreamed of seeing Australia since my childhood. I think it's a very beautiful place, as well with amazing flora and fauna.
In conclusion, if this
offer is still valid, let me know, please.
Best regards, Anastassia.Submitted by anastasia on

The 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.
