Informal Letter writing

Shall we get started? 

You could say: 

 Dear Nic, 
 To Nic, 
 Hi Nic,  
 Hey Nic! 

You could follow that with a friendly expression like: 

 How are you? 

 How are you going? 
 I hope you're well.  

You are now going to divide your email into short

paragraphs to make it easier to read. Now you can start the
main body of my email. Here you have to think about why you
are sending the email. Two or three short paragraphs should be
plenty.

Then you can finish off your letter. There are lots of options here.
For example:  

 Give my love/regards to your family. 

 Say hello to the kids for me. 
 Thanks again for your help. 
 I hope to hear from you soon. 
 See you soon. 
 Write soon. 
 Keep in touch! 

Jack: Then you can sign off with: 

 Love, 
 Lots of love, 
 Best wishes, 
 Yours, 
 All the best, 
Let's have a look. 

Hey Nic,  

How are you going? 

Thanks for sending me the photos from your holiday. It looks

like you had a great time!  

How're Leah and the kids? And what about your dog,
Snoopy? He was just a puppy last time I saw him.  

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to your birthday party. I would

have loved to come but I was really busy at work and it was
hard to get away. Thanks for the invitation though.  

Would it be possible for you to send me some photos from the

party? I'd love to see how it all went.  

I can't wait until you come to visit in March. Do you know

how long you'll be staying? I'll try to think of some fun things
to do.  

See you soon. 

All the best,  

Jack
