Informal letters

You would write an informal letter to someone you know well.

1. Put your address in the top right hand corner of the page.
2. Put the date underneath the address.
3. Start the letter with Dear (put the person’s name here).
4. Finish the letter with Yours sincerely, Yours, or even Love from if you know them really well (and like them).

Although you can use informal English when writing to someone you know, remember you still want them to understand what you are saying. Clear, simple English is always best.
