2If you begin the letter Dear Sir/Madam, you should end it with Yours faithfully. If you begin the letter Dear Mr (or Mrs/Ms/Miss) Jenkins, you should end with Yours sincerely.

 

Here are some useful phrases/expressions to use when writing formal letters.

·      I would like to know more about the type of accommodation that you can provide.

TO MAKE A COMPLAINT:

·      I am writing to you about an unfortunate incident that took place in your shop on Tuesday.

·      I have now been waiting a month for a replacement.

·      To make matters worse, we were told that there was no record of our reservation.
