This may seem like a bit of a basic thing, and something I should already know, but I'm always extremely cautious with things like this.
I am writing a letter to a university in Japan, where I will be going from October. This letter is going to go with my application, so has to be quite formal. I am awful at judging this kind of thing, whether something is too formal, not formal enough etc.
How should I begin and finish such a letter? Would 'Dear sir/madam' and finishing with 'Yours Sincerely' suffice? I am sending a scholarship application too, so I'm quite keen to make a good impression.
