Personal letter
is usually written to a friend or a relative. It does not have many strict
rules. Here is one suggestion of the structure of the personal letter types of
writing.
- Greeting and Purpose
Start with
greeting and an apology (if you forgot to write). Next after that, write the
purpose of your letter.
For example:
“Dear Sarah,
I am sorry I
have not written for so long. My work keeps me so busy, that I never
have a minute
to myself. I am writing to invite you to my wedding.”
- The body paragraph / detail.
This paragraph
must be the longest (or you can break it into 2 paragraphs). Write the main
concern for why you write this letter.
Example:
“Since you have
never met my future husband, you must have a million questions running through
your mind right now. I hope I can tell you enough to put your mind at ease
until we meet. Five months ago, I decided to take a cruise to Bahamas, to get
away for a little while. And on that cruise
Faith arraigned
for me to meet my future husband Alan. He is the most wonderful, loving person
you could ever imagine and we are very happy together.”
- (Not too) formal ending
Here are some
examples:
“With best
wishes, Kathy”
“Yours, Louse”
“With love and
many thanks from me, Diana”
