Learn the following example of a letter to editor. Do you think it is a good letter?

Why/ why
not?

Dear Sir:

I have recently subscribed to your magazine because I am starting an “on call” personnel
business, screening potential employees.

Frankly, I am quite new to computers, but am determined to get a setup that will enable me to
conduct business from my home.

I am wondering if there are any people around who could help me in this regard by telling me
what software to purchase and how to gain access to public records in all states, for
background check purposes.

Some of the types of things I want to access are county records, federal court records,
worker’s comp records, and driver records.

The process through the mail (which most governmental agencies make available) is very
slow.

I am also interested in obtaining any other personal background information (credit history,
military records, assets).

If there is a publication with access codes, etc., please let me know about it, because I really
want to get this business going.

ANSWER

I think it is not a good letter. Why ? There are my reasons :

1. Because the letter does not have date

2. Because punctuation of the letter salutation should use coma ( , ) not use colon ( : ).
Example : Dear Sir,
3. Because the letter does not have conclusion, closing and signature.
