A large company in your area has decided to spend a certain amount of money, either to sponsor a local children’s sports team for two years, or to pay for two open-air concerts. It has asked for feedback from the general public. Write a letter to the company.

To whom it may concern, I hope
this

message finds you well. I am Reza Ghorbani, one of the town’s citizens. I am writing to you regarding your request for feedback about how to spend the budget you have considered to help the town’s inhabitants. As you may know, our town has a local children’s baseball team. Despite the team players’ dedication and capabilities, they could not participate in the provincial championship since they did not have a sponsor and faced financial difficulties.
Therefore

, your donation to support them for two years can provide them with a chance to play in the championship league.
On the other hand

, investing in two open-air concerts could be highly beneficial for the residents as well because there is no suitable place for holding concerts in

area, and if you can pay for
such

events, people can benefit from participating in events, which can reduce their stress significantly.
Moreover

matter. My honest advice is that dedicating money to paying for two open-air concerts can be more influential than supporting the children’s sports team, now that the people of
this

region do not have any place to go in town to have fun with their loved ones and break the monotony of their lives.
Consequently

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.
