• Body: Answer all the points mentioned in the task. Keep your sentences short and clear.

• Sign Off: End with "Best wishes," "Sincerely," or just "Best," followed by your name.

3. Use Simple Language

• Connect Ideas: Use words like "and," "but," "so," and "because" to connect your ideas.

4. Length

• Word Count: Write between 100-120 words. Don’t write too much or too little.
