Default Re: Helpme in writing letter to School Principal

Hi manojkol61:

I am very sorry that I didn't see your letter earlier. Actually your letter is quite good and, if you already sent it, the person who reads it will understand it quite easily. However, I will still give you some suggestions for improving it.

1...In your first sentence, you are not requesting anything; you are offering information. So saying, 'I am writing to inform you that.......' would be more correct. However, that sounds a bit harsh, so you can say something like 'I am writing this letter to express my concern that my son Nikal Gupta........'. Your last sentence is a request and is a good sentence.
2...'I am working in Mumbai so....'
3...You should capitalize names of places (Mumbai) and people (Kusam Madam). Is it Kusam Madam or Madam Kusam?
4...Do not capitalize words like "cat, dog, animals, vegetables, fruits", unless they are beginning sentences.
5...'We spoke to Kusam Madam around three months ago and she gave him a written test for Mont III.'
6...'We agreed to (follow) her suggestion.' (Maybe you didn't agree with her suggestion, but you agreed to follow it.)
7...'Now at home my child doesn't feel like writing....'
8...'...again and again,...'

Good luck!
