TIP(6)TASK1– The Opening Paragraph of the Letter

In a semi-formal letter, I feel it is important to state the reason for the letter straight away. You could use the following to help you:

I am writing to ask/ tell//inform you thatโ€ฆ
I am writing to ask/inquireโ€ฆ
I am writing with regard toโ€ฆ
I am writing with reference toโ€ฆ
I am writing in connection withโ€ฆ
I am writing in response toโ€ฆ
In reply to your letter, I am writing toโ€ฆ (if the question indicates that you
have had a letter)

If the letter is a less formal one to a friend then you should open the letter in a friendlier way. EG:

Dear John,
Hi there! Itโ€™s been so long since Iโ€™ve heard from you. I hope you are doing well and I hope all you family are doing fine. Iโ€™m pretty good in spite of working hard. Anyway, the reason Iโ€™m writing isโ€ฆ
