Here is an example of a friendly letter format. Use it for your 1 page double-spaced, typed letter (minimum) for English class.
September 19, 1650
Rosebush Lane
Boston, Massachusetts Colony
Dear Anne,
The first paragraph usually contains some kind of greeting
as well as a reference to the receiver's last letter, telephone call, etc.
The next paragraph (or paragraphs) expresses the purpose of your letter. Your
letter might be full of several paragraphs of the latest gossip or activities of
your family
and/or friends or the events of the past year. You might place an invitation for
a visit here. You might thank the person for some gift, kind word, etc.
For the English 11 writing assignment, think
of a creative way to explain the events of THE SCARLET LETTER, chapters 1-4,
from the point of view of either Hester Prynne or Arthur Dimmesdale as per
directions given in class. Make sure you include information about
the inner struggle your character is going through. How do these struggles
make the character feel?
The last paragraph sums up the topic of your letter and asks the reader to
reply.
Sincerely,
Hester Prynne
[Sign your name underneath]
