Question

Underline the mistakes about conventions for letters and correct them.

Answer

  1. We put our address and the date at the top of the letter, before the salutation.
  2. If we know the person’s name, we start ‘Dear…’ and use their title and last name (e.g., Mr. Smith, Ms. Johnson).
  3. We always address women as Ms. (unless they have specifically indicated a preference for Mrs. or Miss).
  4. It’s important to refer to why we are writing the letter.
  5. It’s essential to divide longer letters into paragraphs for clarity and readability.
  6. If we don’t know the name of the person we’re writing to, we open with ‘Dear Sir/Madam’ or another appropriate salutation and close with ‘Yours sincerely’ or ‘Yours faithfully’ depending on the salutation used.
