Some useful tips:

-Altijd voluit schrijven, dus geen: ‘I’ve’ – ‘I’m’ – ‘She’s’ – ‘I’d’ (I would = ik zou) Wel: ‘I have’ – ‘I am’ - ‘She is’ – ‘I would’
-Vermijd: ‘wanna’, ‘gonna’, ‘becuz’, ‘u’. Dit is spreektaal. Formeel is: ‘Want to’, ‘going to’, ‘because’, ‘you’. (formeel = wat je in een officiele brief zou zetten)
- Zorg ervoor dat je namen en data (January, February etc.) altijd met hoofdletters schrijft.
- Let op punten en komma’s. Lees je mail nog een keer goed door en zet ze dan op de juiste plekken. Punten op het eind van de zin. Komma's bij leespauzes.
-Zorg voor de tussenruimtes / spaties tussen de aanhef, reden dat je de brief schrijft, inhoud van de brief

"I am writing this letter because, as you know, I am a big fan of yours."
