An informal letter is a letter that you write to your family and friends or even an acquaintance. The letter uses a fairly simple vocabulary.

Format:

sender’s address date
Dear…,

  • The writing style of an informal letter is exactly that – informal. It will be influenced by the person you are writing to – a letter to an aunt or grandmother will be friendly and warm, but you will probably pay more attention to grammatically correct expression and lucidity. On the other hand, a letter to a friend will include the latest slang.
  • The tone in an informal letter is usually conversational and friendly but it also depends on the writer’s intention. A letter expressing your disappointment at a friend’s behaviour at a party may have a serious tone, but a letter describing an exciting holiday will reflect an entertaining, light, happy tone.
  • Involve the reader by conveying the enthusiasm you feel.
  • Joke about/refer to personal matters, for example, ‘how are you coping with…’
  • Refer to a memory.
  • Enquire, persuade, seek information, or ask for advice.

Do not use cliches, for example, “I am well” and “hope you are sailing in the same boat”, and “convey my regards to all” and sundry.

Yours sincerely/Yours affectionately/Your loving daughter/sister/friend
