INFORMAL LETTER (2021-22)

 An informal letter, also referred to as a friendly letter, is a personal letter written to friends or
relatives. It is written in a personal fashion. The letter can be used for some reasons like
conveying messages, news, giving advice, congratulating the recipient, requesting
information, asking questions, etc.
It is a personal letter, written to whom you are familiar with, like friends, siblings, parents, or
any other closed one. While writing an informal letter, one can afford to be friendly, and
make use of personal or emotional tone
 Format
Address
The first thing to write is your address, i.e. the address of the writer (basically, the sender’s
address). We usually write the address on the left-hand side of the page at the very top. The
address should be accurate and complete.
Date
Next just below the address we write the date. This allows the reader to have a reference as to
when the informal letter was written. He can then relate better to the contents of the letter.
The date, preferably, should be in expanded form.
 Salutation
Now since you know the person you are writing to, the greeting can be informal as well. If it
is a friend or someone close to your age you can greet them by their first name, like “Dear
Alex”.
If you are writing to your relatives like your mother/father/aunt/uncle etc, you may greet
them as such, for example, “Dear Mom”. And if you are writing to an elder person,
someone you respect greatly you can address them as Mr or Mrs. Like say for example you
were writing a congratulatory letter to your teacher, it can be addressed as “Dear Mrs.
Alex”.
 Introductory Paragraph
And now we begin writing the actual letter. The introductory paragraph sets the tone for the
whole letter. You might begin by asking the recipient about their well - being. Or you may
say that you hope the letter finds them in good health and great spirits. The opening of
informal letters should be casual and comforting. It must not be formal and direct as in
business letters.
 Body of the Letter
The letter overall should maintain a friendly tone. But you have to adjust the language
according to who you are writing to. With a friend, you can afford to be very casual. But if
you are writing to an elder relative, you must be extremely respectful and considerate.
One way to determine the tonality of your letter is to remember how you talk to the person in
a conversation. And then apply the same syntax and sentiments to the letter.
Conclusion
In the conclusive paragraph sum up the reason for writing the letter, i.e. summarize the letter.
Say a meaningful and affectionate goodbye to the reader. And do not forget to invite the
reader to write back or reply to your letter. It shows an intention to keep the conversation
going.
 Complimentary Close
There is no one way to sign off informal letters. Since they do not follow a strict format, you
may sign off as you please. Some commonly used phrases are

Lots of Love, Best, Best Wishes, Regards,

Pick the one that best suits the occasion and then simply write your name below the
greeting.

Guidelines:

i. Make sure you double-check for grammatical accuracy and spellings. They carry
marks.
ii. Leave an adequate number of lines between paragraphs to make it look neat.
iii. Underlining the main points is very important. But it is advised to do it after finishing
your exam. Use a pencil and scale for underlining.
iv. The presentation is very important.
v. Read a lot of letters to get an idea.

Dear Muskan
My happiness knew no bounds when I got to know that you have topped your school and
achieved your dream. I felt so pleased that I wish I were there to congratulate you personally.
The result has proved that hard work, determination, and perseverance bring good results.
You were so laborious and passionate about it. I know you were very nervous too, but I was
always very confident that you would come out with flying colors. I apologize that I couldn’t
even attend the celebration party despite my wishes.
Hope to see you soon. Please be encouraged and continue your hard work. Your future is
very bright. My parents and elder sister have sent lots of love and heartiest congratulations.
With lots of love and best wishes.
Yours lovingly
