What works well
2The greeting and closing are well-formulated, creating a polite and respectful tone.
The letter provides a suitable and polite tone, which is appropriate for a formal letter to the director of student services.
Improvement Suggestions
2To improve coherence and logical structure, try organizing your paragraphs more clearly. For example, start one paragraph with your issue and have another paragraph for how it affects you. Each paragraph should focus on a single idea and follow a logical progression.
Consider using more varied vocabulary and grammatical structures to enhance the text. Also, avoid repetition and ensure that all sentences serve to advance the main points of the letter.
Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
