How to Write Informal Letter | Open Class | Raghvendra Pal #shorts

Hello everyone,

Currently, I am in class ten, and you can see many students are sitting around. Let's engage in a practical activity. I will ask one of these students how to write informal letters.

Watson, could you please stand up and explain how to write these informal letters?

As we begin, remember that informal letters don't require a strict structure and can be a bit more relaxed compared to formal letters.

Here are the steps for writing an informal letter:

  1. Salutation: Start with a friendly greeting, such as "Dear" followed by the person's first name.
  2. Introduction: In the first paragraph, ask about the well-being of the person you are writing to or mention the reason you are writing.
  3. Body: This section contains the main message. Write in a conversational tone, narrating events, sharing thoughts, feelings, and news.
  4. Conclusion: Wrap up your letter by summarizing your message or suggesting further communication.
  5. Sign-off: Use informal closing phrases like "Best regards," "Take care," or "Yours sincerely," and sign your name.

As we focus on improving our vocabulary, I'll have another student, Watson, share additional insights on formal letters next. However, today's focus is on informal letters.

Example Paragraph:

Starting with a friendly note, and phasing into key updates:

"Dear [Friend's Name],

It's been a while since we last caught up. I've been wanting to share some exciting news about my latest family trip to India. The experience was amazing; we visited several historical sites and indulged in local cuisine."

You would then end with:

"I hope all is well with you and your family. Looking forward to hearing back from you soon. Take care!

Best, [Your Name]"
