Greetings | |
Most commonly used salutations are as follows: Sir, Sirs, Dear Madam, Dear Sir, Dear Sirs, Dear Mr. Brown, | Dear Clara, Hi Tania, Hello Bill, |
The introductory paragraph | |
The first paragraph will generally outline the purpose for the letter and the reason that the letter is being sent. ● I am writing to you with reference to… ● I am interested in applying for the job/position of… ● We are pleased to receive… ● This is to inform you that I have received your letter of… ● I very much appreciate having a reply from you… ● I am most grateful to you for… | should be started with a sentence that piques the interest of the reader.

The body | |
The body of the letter is the subject matter. It may consist of only one paragraph or as many as necessary to convey the message. Many-paged letters should be numbered. The body of a formal letter is brief. This is because business writing is straight to the point. When we write a formal letter, we want to hit the nail on the head, and not beat about the bush. | The introduction should flow smoothly into the body, where you will talk about the main subject of your letter. If you are going to be discussing more than one topic, you can say “To begin with, I need to tell you…”Keep the tone of your informal letter on the conversational level. |
The complimentary close | |
It is customary to close a letter with a closing salutation. Most commonly you will find: ●Yours faithfully, ●Yours sincerely, ●Yours truly, ●Best regards, ●Kindest regards, | Finish the letter with an excuse to stop writing. The appropriate phrases are: ● Must dash now, I have to write my History report… ● Please give my regards to… ● All the best, ● Love, ● Best wishes, ● With love from, |
The signature | |
After the complimentary close, leave about two lines, and then write your full name Yours faithfully, Helen Lisova, English teacher | Whether you sign only your first name, nickname or full name will depend on the relationship. Love, Helen |
● I have been offered … ● I am prepared to come for an interview at anytime…
|
● I’ve done… ● Why don’t we…
● It’s a piece of cake to do the History project for me.

Dear sir, I am writing for the position of volunteer worker which I saw advertised in the Guardian last week. I would be interested in teaching Maths to primary children in your camp in Bangladesh. I enclose a copy of my CV. I would like to work for you because I am very interested in teaching. I would also like to learn about a different culture as I feel that intercultural understanding is extremely important. I am hard-working and committed person. For the last three years, I have done voluntary work visiting elderly people in my local area. I have also taught immigrant children so I feel confident I can get on well with people from other cultural backgrounds. I think I could be a good primary teacher of maths due to my teaching experience and since I have Maths ‘A’ level. In addition, I hold a certificate in first aid, which might be useful. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Maureen Taylor Maureen Taylor (Ms) | Dear Tom, I’m glad to hear from you. Thanks for your letter. How are you getting on? I’m writing to you to answer your questions about students` independence from their parents. As a matter of fact, the allowance in Russian universities is so low that It’s not enough for pocket money. And it’s absolutely unreal for students to get a well-paid job, so Russian students have to be financially supported by their parents even though they want to be independent. Students can rent a flat only if parents give them money for that. And only nonresident students can live in university hostels. By the way, did you enjoy your trip to Scotland? What places of interest have you visited? Have you seen the Loch Ness monster? I’m sorry but I must dash now. My mum is coming, we are gonna have dinner soon. Best wishes, Zina |
