I am writing
this
letter to inform you that I have faced several problems on my recent journey by
train
from Multan to Lahore. I reserved the two
seats
which are
seats
7 and 8 on 22nd July
last
month. I had to travel early morning 6am from the Multan Cantt station. The purpose of my travel is to attend an Annual Conference In Lahore at 2pm.
Firstly
, The journey begins with the delay of arrival of the
train
by half an hour. I embark on
this
journey with my colleague. when we enter our compartment, there is no seat left for us.
Also
, many of the passengers are in a queue and waiting for the
seats
to be free. It was a really embarrassing movement for me.
However
, I had reserved these
seats
2 days earlier from departure time.
Secondly
, when the
train
master arrived to check the tickets I will suggest you take action on all these matters immediately.
Otherwise
, these problems can have detrimental effects on the
train
's reputation. I will suggest two ways to overcome these problems.
First,
the security of the
train
should be increased to control limited passengers.
Secondly
, by arranging a training session for the
train
masters. I eagerly waiting to look forward to hearing from you. yours truly, ahtsham

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 + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
