Dear Dr Farquard, 

Re : Ms Tabitha Taborlin 

Age : 45 years 

Ms Taborlin has had type 1 diabetes mellitus since 7-year-old and has non-compliance with insulin regimen. She requires further management. 

Purpose is not clear

As per oet 2.0 introduction should include the purpose of the letter as immediately apparent to the reader.

Initially, Ms Taborlin was admitted with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)  which was treated with intravenous fluids and insulin. She has been prescribed with 45 units of Lantus at night and 12 units Humalog. During discharge, a stable HbA1C was found. On today's appointment, a  discussion was made regarding the necessity of glucose checking, insulin administration and cessation of smoking as she was noted to have non-compliance with insulin regimen and advised diet. In addition, micro and macro vascular{macrovascular} complication of diabetes was also discussed. Apart from that, she was provided with education pamphlets and refills for Lantus and Humalog. 

Last line of your paragraph is the actual purpose of the letter.

Read the case note and interpret it correctly.

Ms Taborlin is single. Her body mass index is 18.2. She smokes moderately. She does not perform exercise. She has hypertension. She had multiple episodes of DKA. 

While writing oet letter it is important to present the case note in an organised manner. Try to make a variety of sentences.

It would greatly appreciated if you could assist her to maintain stricter glycemic control possibly with an insulin pump. 

Wrong purpose 

Kindly contact me for further queries. 

Yours sincerely, 

Registered Nurse
