What is a Friendly Letter?

• A friendly letter is a type of letter written to someone you already know, such as friends and family.
• It's a way to keep in touch and share personal thoughts and experiences.
• Friendly letters can be exchanged with someone you've never met, like a pen pal.

Friendly Letter Format

• A friendly letter typically has six parts, but only the first five are required.
• The six parts are: heading, greeting, body, closing, signature, and postscript (optional).
• The heading includes the sender's mailing address and date.
• The greeting is usually personalized, such as "Dear [name]".
• The body includes an introduction, body, and conclusion, and may include a request to write back.
• The closing is a way to end the letter, such as "Best regards" or "Sincerely".
• The signature is the writer's name, and the postscript is an optional additional thought or question.
