Informal Letter: A Brief Guide

Informal Letters

How do you keep in touch withn your friends and your family? Do you write letters, emails, speak on telephone, send cards, text using a mobile phone, or use a social networking site such as Facebook?

Sometimes we need to communicate a lot of information and a letter or email may be the easiest way to do this. We may write a letter to mark a special occasion or to communicate something that's difficult to say face-to-face; for example, a letter expressintg our sympathy when somebody has died, or a letter sending our congrats to a birth of a new born baby. These are personal letters. Personal letters may be short or long but they are usually chatty and informal.

Have you written an informal letter to anyone?
