I am going to be doing work experience from the 23rd of June to the 4th of July next year and I want to write a letter to my local solicitors asking if they would be able to let me do work experience there. What I need to know is how do I end the letter and how would I start it? For example would yours faithfully be polite and would Dear sir or madam be polite? because I know there is a familiar way and a polite way

Dear Sir/Madam...... end it with Cordially, Respectfully, or Sincerely
Answer by sharrona
Dear Sir/Madam and end with Sincerely~ ~ ~ that is the standard and proper etiquette of secretarial skills when addressing unknown areas inquiring regarding work.
Always has been for the last 30 years. Very cordial, and etiquette plus.
You will be very safe with that heading and ending..
good luck.
Answer by tllew1
Do a little research before writing those letters, to find out exactly how they need to be addressed. When writing your letter, begin by stating Dear ______, (insert Mr. or Mrs, or Ms. whichever may apply based on your reserarch. That way, you will be addressing the proper person who will read the letter and actually hire you for your work experience this summer. You can end your letter with Sincerely, (Your name).

FOR YOU TO BEGIN A LETTER ITS NOT ESSENTIAL TO BEGIN WITH DEAR SIR/MADAM. YOU CAN DIRECTLY START WRITING BY USING SIR BECAUSE DEAR AND ALL ARE CALLED INDIANISMS WHICH SHOULD BE PROHIBITED.OF COURSE AT THE END YOU MAY CONCLUDE WRITING YOURS FAITHFULLY.
Answer by elsie
Dear sir or madam is definitely a lot nicer than To Whom It May Concern. Yours faithfully is a bit too personal, especially if you are wanting work. Try sincerely.
Answer by Cassie W
Yes, Dear Sir or Madam would be the polite, professional way to open a letter. THe ending can be anywhere from Yours faithfully to Gratefully yours to Sincerely. Best of luck!!

The choice of paper before anything - the pen you use - do you hand-write or type ?
spelling mistakes -
general presentation of your text -is it clear and easy to read ?
Think about the "rule of three paragraphs" - distinctly separated - this is very elegant - and people now ignore this
