Dear XYZ,

How are you? How's your new school? I didn't receive any letter from you for long. Anyways, I hope that everything is well at your end.

As I always used to share everything with you, today I'm writing this letter to you to tell you about a destructive picture which I saw few days earlier. Last week, on Tuesday there was a heavy storm with thunder and rain. Next day, the sky was clear. I and my neighbour's kids headed for our school. As I reached my school... I saw, the wind of last night had created a havoc. I never imagined to see my school in that state. The glass windows were broken, the tall garden trees had fallen on the school building and had damaged a part of it. There was a nest of a pigeon in one of the ventilators which was destroyed. I felt sad, as if I would burst out crying there. There were many students who were happy as the school will remain closed and may other- like me, stood there looking at the havoc caused by the storm...

Our school is now temporarily closed. It'll reopen soon, may be by next two weeks. How's your studies going on? How's aunt? How's sister? Do write back about your well being.

Regards,

ABC

Dear Anjelica,

Kolar-00000

Thank you a lot for your last letter. It was a nice surprise to hear from you that you are on a trip to America. I'm sorry I haven't written to you earlier but I had to organize some things concerning my school classrooms which cought lot of damages by the strong winds.

I would like to share some things what happened

on that Saturday night. There was devastating wind which destroyed everything in our area but we are so lucky to be safe by this wind. But meanwhile, the wind entered to our school in which you and I were studying happily but now it has been destroyed horribly. It's enough for now to tell about this matter because it takes to time.

So our school principal is thinking of what to do next? But don't need to worry about this because we can't stop any natural disasters. Don't forget to write a letter in return and I am always there for you and your family.

Regards,

Your Lovely friend,

Meena

$\huge\rm{\underline{\underline{Key \: ideas:-}}}$

• Know your audience! -- write with the appropriate level of informality. You wouldn't address a close friend in the same way that you would a former professor but both would be informal letters.
• Remember the basics! -- just because it's an informal letter doesn't mean you can forget the traditional structures (like salutations, correct grammar and spelling, etc.
• Be brief! -- even if you are writing to someone you haven't spoken to in a long time, you don't want to bore them with too much information.
• Be sincere! -- you are probably writing to someone that you have an important relationship with so while you are writing about YOU, remember to be polite and conversational.

$\huge\rm{\underline{\underline{Know \: more:-}}}$

• The heading in the upper right corner may consist of an address and date. We don't use punctuation at the end of the heading lines.
• The salutation placed at the left-hand margin is rather friendly and informal. We do use comma here, e.g. Dear Gran, Beloved Mum, Dearest Susie
• The body may consist of one or more paragraphs, dealing with personal topics
• The complimentary close is followed with a comma:

e.g., Love, Jane Sincerely yours, Tom Yours, Alan

• Signature is written below the complimentary close
