TIPS.
Since you are writing to your landlord, it is assumed that you personally know him/her. This is why the question instruction says that –
Begin your letter as follows: Dear………, Fill the “........ ” with a name [your landlord’s first name in this case with a title (i.e. Mr/ Mrs)] This is a semi-formal letter. So do Not to use contractions (e.g. ain’t, doesn’t, aren’t etc) and any informal word/expression in it.
You should end a semi-formal letter with the signature line –
Sincerely / Yours sincerely / Sincerely yours,
+ Your full name. It is important to identify the type of letter you are required to write. There are three types of IELTS letters: formal, semi-formal, and informal. Depending on the type of letter you are writing, you should use different expressions and tones.
