How to Write a Letter to a Friend (Step-by-Step Examples)

Whether typed or handwritten, letters often feel more personal than emails or texts. So, if you want to make a friend feel special, why not write to them? In this article, you’ll pick up some tips for writing meaningful letters to a friend.

How to write a letter to a friend

Common questions.

When you’re writing to a friend, you want your letter to be heartfelt, clear, and interesting enough to hold their attention. Here are some tips for writing a proper letter that your friend will be glad to receive.

1. Write your address and the date on the first page

Write your current address and the date on the top-right corner of the first page of your letter. If your friend keeps your letter and rereads it later, they won’t have to remember when you sent it or where you were writing from.

If you aren’t sure how to format a letter, you could refer to an online template to help you get the layout right. For example, here is a list of informal letter templates .

2. Begin with a casual greeting

If you’re writing to a friend, you probably want to go for an informal tone in your letter. Pick a greeting that fits your personality and the relationship you have with your friend.

Here are some sample greetings you could use at the beginning of your letter:

• “To my best friend…”
• “What’s up?”
• “Dear [friend’s name]”
• “Surprise! It’s me”

3. Acknowledge your friend

It’s polite to start your letter by acknowledging the person reading it. One or two sentences is enough. In general, it’s best to be brief and positive.

Here are some examples of ways to acknowledge your reader at the beginning of a letter:

• “I hope everything is good with you.”
• “I can’t believe it’s summer already! I bet it’s hot where you are.”
• “I hope you’re having an awesome semester.”
• “I hope you and your family are all doing well.”

4. Tell your friend why you are writing to them

To smooth the transition between your acknowledgment and the main body of your letter, give your friend some context by explaining why you are writing to them. One or two sentences is enough.

Here are some lines you use to explain why you are writing to your friend:

• “I realized the other day that it’s been too long since we talked, so I thought I’d write to you.”
• “I know you’ve been feeling down lately and thought a silly letter might put a smile on your face.”
• “I’ve got something amazing to tell you!”
• “Texting is great, but it gets a bit old sometimes, so I thought I’d write you a letter!”
• “I wanted to express my sympathy for the death of your grandmother.”
• “I’ve got something important that I need to share with you.”

5. Plan the main body of your letter

After greeting your friend and explaining why you are writing, you can start on the main body of the letter. It’s a good idea to make a rough plan first. It can help to make a bulleted list of everything you’d like to cover. If you stick to the list, you won’t miss anything out.

Most people begin with their most interesting or important news. For example, if you’ve just landed a new job, you might want to talk about that first.

However, you don’t have to follow this rule. Feel free to experiment with different structures. For example, you may want to share a funny but unimportant piece of news or gossip before talking about a significant thing that’s been happening in your life.

Use paragraph divisions to make your letter easy to read. In general, it’s best to start a new paragraph whenever you change the subject or want to make a new point.

6. Follow up on your last conversation or letter

Follow up on anything interesting your friend has told you recently, or reply to any questions they’ve asked you. This will make your letter more engaging and shows your friend that you pay attention to what they say.

Here are some examples of how you might follow up on a previous conversation or letter:

• “The last time we spoke, you were thinking of getting a new job. Did you apply for anything yet?”
• “In your letter, you asked me whether I’d ever think of starting my own business. I’ve thought about it, and…”
• “I was thinking about that conversation we had about bucket list trips. So it’s kind of a crazy idea, but maybe when we’ve graduated, we could visit…”

7. Ask your friend questions

Show your friend that you are thinking about them by asking questions about whatever is going on in their life. You could ask about something specific or ask an open question that encourages them to share anything they’d like you to know about.

For example, if you recently learned that your friend got engaged, you could ask a specific question like, “I still can’t believe you got engaged! How’s the wedding planning going?” or “Have you picked out a venue yet?”

Or, if you want to ask your friend a more general question , you could ask, “What’s going on with you?” or “What’s been happening in your life recently?”

8. Ask your friend to pass on messages to others

If there’s someone in your friend’s life that you know and care about but aren’t especially close to, you could ask your friend to pass on a quick greeting or message on your behalf.

For example, you could ask your friend to send your regards to their mother, to say “hi” to their kids, or to wish their partner a happy birthday.

9. Share a memory

Referencing a shared memory adds a personal touch to the letter and encourages your friend to think of the happy times you’ve shared.

Here are some examples of how to share a memory in a letter:

• “I had the most amazing sundae the other day. It reminded me of all those ice cream parties we had in college! Do you remember the time we set up an ice cream bar in the kitchen?”
• “My neighbor just got a new dog. Do you remember that time a crazy dog just randomly came up to us in the park and started trying to chew your coat? Yeah, this new dog reminds me of him. Not good.”

10. Show appreciation for your friend

If your friendship means a lot to you, a letter can be a good way to express your appreciation.

Here are some examples showing how you show appreciation in a letter:

• “By the way, I’ll always be grateful for your support when I split up with [your ex].”
• “I don’t think I’ve told you this lately, but your friendship means a lot to me.”
• “Even though we live far apart now, I still consider you to be one of my best friends.”

11. Use humor carefully

Even if you and your friend have a shared sense of humor , it’s important to remember that jokes, flippant comments, or sarcastic remarks don’t always come across the same way when they’re written down. Unless you’re sure that your friend will understand your meaning, avoid potentially offensive or controversial jokes.

12. Bring your letter to a close

When you’ve finished the main body of your letter, add a couple of sentences to wrap it up. You could tell them that you’ll be in touch, ask them to get in contact, remind them of an upcoming event or, if you’re writing to a friend you miss, let them know that you miss them.

Here are some ways you can bring a letter to a close:

• “So, that’s all my news. Hope to see you soon.”
• “I think that’s everything for the time being. Missing you! I’ll call you next week.”
• “I’ll sign off for now. Let me know when you’re next in town. Perhaps we could grab a drink.”
• “OK, I think you know everything that’s been going on with me now! See you soon at Jen’s birthday party!”

It’s good manners to end on a positive note, or at least to avoid signing off with a complaint.

For example, if you’ve been writing about a few problems you’ve been faced with over the past several months, you could end with, “It’s been a tough year, but I’m looking forward to seeing you soon!”

13. Sign off

Finish your letter with a warm or affectionate ending. Just like the greeting, it should fit your personality and the type of relationship you have with your friend.

Here are some ways you could sign off a letter to a friend:

• “Hugs and kisses”
• “With love”
• “All my love”
• “Affectionately”
• “See you soon!”
• “Your friend”
• “Take care”
• “Thinking of you”

Don’t forget to sign off with your name.

14. Add a “P.S.”

You don’t have to add a P.S. to the end of your letter, but it can add some extra humor and is a good place to include an in-joke. For example, you could write, “P.S. You still owe me that $1.72. I expect you to pay up the next time I see you!”

You can also use a P.S. to include a short piece of news or information you forgot to include in your letter. For example, “P.S. I finally signed up for that calligraphy course. So maybe the next letter I write will be in fancy handwriting!”

15. Proofread your letter before sending it

A couple of small mistakes aren’t a big deal, but if your letter contains a lot of errors, it could be difficult for your friend to read or understand it. Double-check your letter before mailing it off.

You don’t need to rewrite the whole page if you make a couple of minor mistakes. You can cross out the mistake, add an asterisk, then add another asterisk at the bottom of the page, followed by the correction.

16. Make your letter special

A few nice touches will make your letter more memorable. Here are some ways you can make your letter more special:

• Use fancy notepaper or headed paper
• Include a photo that will mean something to your friend, e.g., an old picture of you together
• Decorate the letter or envelope with stickers or stamps
• Use an unusual-colored ink
• Include a small gift or trinket, such as a gourmet tea bag or pin badge
• Add sketches or doodles to the letter

You might also get some inspiration from these thank you messages for friends .

How much should I write in a letter to a friend?

There is no hard and fast rule. If you have a lot to say, and you think your friend will enjoy reading it, it’s fine to write a long letter. But a short note can be very meaningful. For example, a few brief, sympathetic lines can be enough to comfort a grieving friend.

How to Write a Letter to a Friend (with Examples)

A friendly letter falls under the category of informal writing. Such a letter is written to any family members, relatives, friends, cousins, etc. The purpose of writing this letter is to share any information with them regarding any event or happening.

Nowadays, writing letters has been replaced with different social media accounts for sending and receiving any information from anyone around the world. But the surprising factor of getting an unexpected letter from your loved one has been lost in this process.

In this modern world, it is like receiving a gift through the mail. It may bring tears to your eyes, your heart would become overwhelmed with the emotions associated with your friend, and you will feel delightful as well. The best part of writing a letter to your friend is that it can be kept as a memory which can be recalled at any time even after many years.

How to Write a Friendly Letter?

The main focus of this article is to help you write a letter to your friend in an impressive way. So, here are some guidelines that can assist you in writing an impressive letter:

Step 1: Planning

It can be very challenging to write a letter to your friend because both of you have never done so, and it is different from sending a text message. And some people think that it is not easy for them to talk with their friends via letter.

So the first step in writing a letter to your friend is planning. In this step, you would plan what to write in the letter. It could be any question from your friend, a discussion about the future, details of any particular incident that happened with you, condolence on a loss , or making a plan to meet them.

It is difficult for some people to express their actual emotions through their words. This problem can also be solved by taking into consideration some of the writing prompts that could be included in your letter, which has been mentioned as follows:

• Asking about the well-being of your friend and their family
• Any old joke played by the group friends in college/university.
• Your views about your friend when both of you met for the first time.
• Any secret thing which was between both of you only.
• A dream you had seen in which both of you were together.
• Asking them about their recent life events and special occasions.
• Any slang word or a secret code they used to speak.
•  An exciting event or memory of the class.
• Recalling the recreational tour and visit to new places.
• Telling them about your future goals, how you would try to achieve them, and asking about theirs as well.

Step 2: Start with a greeting

The style of writing a letter depends on your relationship with the person to whom the letter is being written. For example, while writing a letter to your friend, you can use formal or informal types of words such as “Dear”, “Hello”, “Hi”, etc. Usually, the friends have close relations so you can also write “Sweetie”, “Love”, etc.

Step 3: Body of the letter

The planning done in step 1 will help you in this part of the letter, which is the essential one. The length of your letter body will depend on the amount of information you want to share with your friend. Some catchy phrases, nicknames, slang words, emojis, etc. can also be added in this part of the letter.

To make the letter body more impressive and captivating, you can adopt the following strategies:

Explaining yourself

The purpose of writing the letter should be mentioned in the first place. It may include explaining why you decided to write a letter to your friend, which can be any reason such as missing your friend by remembering any past event or meeting any old class fellow or colleague suddenly.

Starting with a question

Starting the letter should be energetic. You can start the letter by asking any question about the well-being of your friend and his/her family members. It will be good as:

• Your concerns and attachment with your friend could be expressed.
• Your friend will realize that you still remember them despite not being together for a long time.

Sharing information

You can share any news or information about your own life, including any significant or exciting event that happened in your life, your emotions, and feelings regarding different perspectives, etc.

Step 4: Closing lines

While writing a letter to your friend, the letter can be signed off by using multiple phrases such as “Waiting to see you”, “Waiting for your reply”, “Looking forward to meeting you”, etc. It would help you as:

• Your letter would end nicely.
• A proper closing will not make your friend perplexed.
• You can also ask them to plan a get-together or talk over a phone call.

P.S (PostScript) section can be added at the end of your letter. In this section, the information that you have missed can be added. It will save you from rewriting or re-formatting the whole letter again. This section helps you to deliver an instant piece of information to your friend.

[Recipient’s Name]

[Recipient’s Address]

Dear [Recipient’s Name],

I hope this letter finds you in the best of spirits and good health. It feels like ages since we last caught up, and I couldn’t resist the urge to sit down and write to you.

Sample Letter to a Friend

Dear Sophie,

I hope this letter finds you soaking up all the happiness and good vibes! It feels like forever since we last caught up, and honestly, I’ve missed our chats more than I miss my morning coffee (and you know that’s saying something!).

So, where do I even begin? Remember that pottery class I mentioned wanting to try out? Well, I finally signed up for it last month, and let me tell you, it’s been an absolute blast. There’s something incredibly calming about shaping clay with your own hands. I’ve already made a wonky vase and a couple of lopsided mugs, which I’m proudly displaying in my kitchen. I wish you could see them – I think they’d give you a good laugh!

Work has been the usual hustle, but I’m learning to find a better balance. Those yoga sessions we talked about starting have become my little sanctuary. I’m no expert, but I’m getting the hang of it. It’s been helping me stay centered and a bit more at peace, even on chaotic days.

How’s everything on your end? Last time we talked, you were diving into that big project at work. I’m dying to know how it’s going and if you’ve managed to conquer the world with your brilliance yet. Also, how’s Max doing with his new school? I bet he’s already the most popular kid in class.

I’ve been reminiscing about our last road trip a lot lately. Those spontaneous adventures and endless conversations under the stars are genuinely irreplaceable. What do you say? Do we plan another one soon? Maybe a weekend getaway to the mountains or the beach? Let’s make it happen. It would be the perfect way to catch up and unwind.

I’ll wrap this up for now, but please write back when you find a moment. I’m eager to hear all about your life, the ups, the downs, and everything in between. Remember, you’re an incredible friend, and I’m here cheering you on, always.

Take care and send my love to Max and the rest of the crew. Looking forward to your reply and counting down the days until our next adventure together.

With all my love,

Do’s and Don’ts

These are some of the key points that should be kept in mind while writing a letter to your friend. For this purpose, a list of some do’s and don’ts has been provided below, along with a brief description of each.

If you want to make your letter extraordinary by having some exceptional ideas, then you can follow the list given below:

Prompt starting

You might get confused while starting to write the letter. But, on the other hand, you might feel happy to show your concern and correspondence to your friend. For this purpose, you may mention the reason for remembering your friend, sharing an interesting memory of the past, things you like in your friend’s personality, things often recalled by you regarding the time when both of you were together, etc.

Be creative

You can craft your letter by using various calligraphy styles to give a creative look to it. Your creative mindset will make it more enchanting for your friend.

You can attach some cute little things, such as newspaper trimmings that may make your friend remember any past occasion, the photos you clicked together, or you can write a poem for your friend. Decorating the letter is also essential. You can use colorful markers, pencils, stickers, or anything else to make your letter more creative.

Choosing the stationery

The stationery required for writing a letter to your friend can be decided according to your friend’s interests. It will make your friend feel special. For example, you can use a writing paper with flowers on it or any animated cartoon design imprinted on it. A letter can be written with the help of colorful markers, pens, or pencils.

Proofread your letter

Proofreading is essential for making the letter-perfect. Although it is an informal letter to your friend, the grammatical structure should not be compromised because the letter will show your association with your friend.

Use letter envelopes

You would decorate your letter according to your friend’s personality and the occasion or reason for which the letter is being written. However, decorating the letter is not enough; you should then put it in an envelope and mention the postal address of your friend’s house, their name, the date on which the letter was sent, and the return address as well. After putting in the letter, the envelope should be sealed properly.

As you are writing a letter to your friend after a long time, you will surely not want to make any mistakes in it. You can make your letter error-free by considering the following points:

No self-introduction

Sometimes, we remember the face or any other trait of a person, but the name cannot be recalled. So if you are writing a letter to your friend after a long time, you should briefly introduce yourself first and mention some details about your friendship.

Excessive complaint

It would be best not to ask them excessively about not writing to you or not staying in contact with you for a long time. It would be best if you also kept in mind not to share too much of your troubles or bad happenings with your friends because it would make them annoyed also.

Improper punctuations

It would be best not to use improper punctuation. Although you and your friend might not be very good at English, some basic mistakes could be noted by your friend while reading the letter, and it would create a wrong impression. So it would help if you tried to write the letter smartly.

You should not write a lengthy letter because it will waste time for your friend when the letter is read. Moreover, it would be best not to use fancy words to make the letter seem too wordy. So you should keep the sentences short. In this way, your friend would be able to read and understand the letter with great ease.

No signature

Some basic ethics should be followed while writing a letter, even to a friend. For example, you may think that giving a signature at the end might not be necessary in this case, but it is a fundamental component of a letter. So you should leave your signature at the end of the letter.

Improper formatting

If your letter is not adequately formatted, like the lines are not in any sequence, any words have been cut, or punctuation is not in place, it will make the wrong impression on your friend. So it would be best to focus on the correct format of the letter.

No paragraph divisions

Although the letter to your friend is written informally, it should have proper divisions of paragraphs. A new paragraph should start when a new piece of information or news about any other event is mentioned, distinct from the previous one. The reason for writing the letter should be mentioned in the first paragraph, after which different happenings will be written, and then comes the closing paragraph.

Key Takeaways

To sum up the article, some of the critical points have been enlisted below:

• The salutation/greeting words should be relevant to the friendship status between you and your friend.
• The reason for writing the letter should be mentioned at the start.
• Write about all the significant and recent changes or events that have occurred in your life that would interest your friend. But avoid adding too much pointless information.
• Create an interesting theme and ask your friend to arrange a meet-up plan.
• Ask your friend about what’s going on in their life so that your friend gets to realize that you are concerned about their life.
• You should add the closing lines according to the salutation/greeting words because both of these things depend on the level of friendship between you.
• In the postscript section, you could add any news or information that may not seem appropriate to be incorporated in the main letter body. It is optional for you to include this section or not.

How to Write a Letter to Your Best Friend

Are you the bestest friend in the whole wide world? With International friendship day coming up (July 30th), it’s time to show your friends how much they mean to you. And what better way to show your appreciation, than learning how to write a letter to your best friend. Whether you have known them for years or just months, a letter can help express your feelings and sincerely show them how much you care for them. 

The best thing about sending letters is that your friend can keep these as mementoes of your friendship. So, years down the line, they can look back at these letters and remember the friendship they had with you and the good old times. While writing letters is a good way to show your appreciation, it can be very difficult to put down in words your feelings. In this post, we’ll show you how to write a letter to your best friend, along with 15+ letter prompts for your best friend.

For more inspiration check out our post on 56+ write prompts about friendship .

How to Write a Letter To Your Best Friend

Step 1: write down some ideas.

Before you begin writing your letter you need to plan it out. During this planning phase, you should think about some questions to ask your friend. You might think about any future plans with them, what you like about them and how they are feeling. Use scrap paper to plan out your letter ideas and structure.

When you’re staring at a blank page it can be difficult to think of the right words to say to your best friend and how to put your feelings down on paper. To help you out, here are over 15 letter prompts for your best friend :

•  A recent joke you or they played on you.
• The first time you both met.
• Your favourite memory together.
• A song your friend loves listening to.
• A secret that only you know about them.
• A celebrity or real-life crush your friend has.
• Think about a hard time you both went through.
• Has there been a big change in your life recently?
• A dream you had involving your best friend.
• How much you miss them when they’re gone.
• Something they always say, like a catchphrase or a word.
• Their favourite food, colour, items, TV shows and so on.
• What about their dreams, goals and ambitions in life?
• Make a plan to meet up soon somewhere.
• Do you have any exciting or sad news to share?
• Something new you discovered or learned.
• Ask about their family and how they are doing.

Once you have thought about the various things to include in your letter, you can roughly write an outline of your letter on scrap paper. In your outline, you could include some questions to ask, details about yourself you want to include and any other special words or catchphrases you want to include.

Step 2: Choose your stationery

Use some cool stationery to make your letter more special. By stationary, we mean the paper your letter will be written on, an envelope and writing pens. Will you use colourful gel pens or a smart fountain pen? What about your letter paper? Does a floral design suit your best friend or a more anime, cartoon-style writing paper? The key to choosing good stationery is to know your best friend. Whatever their interests are try to include them in the stationary choice. 

If your choice of writing paper has no lines, you should put a lined paper under your unlined paper. This will ensure that your sentences appear straight on the unlined page and do not wobble all over the page.

Step 3: Start with a greeting

Start by writing down a greeting to your friend. In formal letters, the greeting starts with “Dear”. However, since this is a letter to your best friend, you want to be less formal and more friendly. For this reason, you might want to start your letter with the following greetings:

• Hello There

Another tip with the greeting is that instead of including your best friend’s name, you could include a nickname or something you always call them. For example, you might call your best friend Tweety or Cutie, even though their real first name might be Laura or Katie. This is a great way to add a personal touch to your letter.

Step 4: Write the body of the letter

Write the body of your letter. This is the scary part. The part where everyone struggles. To make this step easier, it’s very important that you follow step one, to plan out your letter on a separate scrap paper. 

The body of your letter can be as short or as long as you like. Sometimes you might have a lot to say and might end up writing two or three pages in your letter. Other times, a short paragraph or two will be enough to show your appreciation. Look back at step one above for some interesting ideas of things to include in your body. 

Here are a couple of tips on how to make the body of the letter more personal:

•  Include personal catchphrases or inside jokes in your body.
• Use your best friend’s name or nickname lightly across the letter.
• Use words like, ‘You’, ‘Your’ and ‘Remember’.
• Add in emojis – Even if you have to draw them 🙂 
• Don’t be afraid of using “text speak”, slang words or abbreviating long words. 

Step 5: Adding the closing lines

Close your letter off nicely. This is your best friend, don’t leave them hanging. Tell them how much you missed them if you haven’t seen them in a while. Ask them if they want to meet up someplace or talk over the phone. You should also tell them that you look forward to talking to them soon or catching up. 

After writing your closing lines. It’s time to sign your letter off. With a formal letter, you might use, “Yours Sincerely” or “Kind Regards”. But with a letter to your best friend you should end more informally. Here are some ideas for signing off your letter:

• Your Bestest Friend
• See you soon

If you forgot to mention something in the body of the letter, you can use “P.S” after signing your letter off. This gives you a chance to write a quick message at the bottom of the letter. 

Step 6: Decorate your letter

Decorate your letter with anything you like. When decorating your letter think about your best friend’s personality, interests and occasion. Use stickers, stamps, draw doodles and add sparkles or glitter. Make your letter look fun and interesting. This way your best friend will be excited to read it. Don’t forget to decorate your envelope too!

Step 7: Add any attachments (Optional)

Include any photos or small items with your letter. This step is optional. You might want to include a photo of you and your best friend together at an event. Alternatively, you might want to give them a small item like a ring, sweets or something you made yourself like an origami fox . This will make your best friend feel even more special and appreciated. 

Step 8: Put the letter into an envelope

Put your letter into an envelope. On the envelope clearly include your best friend’s address, a stamp and a return address. If you don’t plan on using a post office to post the letter, you can just include your best friend’s name on the front and give it to them personally. 

You might also want to seal your letter with a sticker or some sparkly tape. This will make your letter feel more personal and special. 

Example of a letter to your Best Friend

Still, struggling to write a letter to your best friend? Here’s an example that you can use as a template:

Hiya Milly! Long time, no see or speak. I missed you sooo much!! How ya doin?  I got some big news for you! You know that art competition I was always boasting about! Well guess what?

Writing a Letter to Your Friend

In an age dominated by quick texts and instant messaging, writing a letter to a friend can feel like an art form from a bygone era. However, the personal touch of a handwritten letter can convey emotions and thoughts in a way that digital communication often fails to capture. Whether you are reconnecting with an old friend, sharing exciting news, or simply wanting to keep in touch, a well-written letter can be a cherished gift. Here’s how to craft a heartfelt and memorable letter to a friend.

Writing Your Letter

Dear Emily,

I’ve finally settled into the new job here in San Francisco, and the city has been both overwhelming and exciting. There’s so much to see and do! The streets are bustling, the food is incredible, and the people have been welcoming. Every day feels like an adventure. I wish you could see the beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge from my apartment window—it reminds me of the postcards we used to send each other as kids!

Speaking of our childhood, do you remember when we planned that cross-country road trip? I think it’s about time we made that dream a reality. How about we aim for next summer? I can already imagine us driving down the coast, music blasting, without a care in the world. Let me know what you think!

I can’t wait to hear back from you. No rush, though; I know how hectic life can get. Just know that your friend here thinks of you often and cherishes every bit of our friendship. Give my love to your family and a big hug to Mr. Whiskers!

P.S. Remember, you always have a couch to crash on if you’re ever in the Bay Area. Let’s not let another year pass by without a proper reunion!

Final Thoughts

So, grab your pen and paper and start writing; your friend might just be waiting to hear from you in a way that only a personal letter can fulfill. Happy writing!

Whether your best friend moved away or will just be away for a while, writing a paper letter sends the message that you care about them. Even if you live next door to each other, writing a letter can still be a great way to express your appreciation for someone. You can make your letter special with pretty stationery and thoughtful statements. Plus, your best friend can keep your letter as a memento of your friendship and read it anytime they need a reminder how much you care about them.

How to Write Your Best Friend a Letter

Start your letter off with a warm greeting and update your best friend on your life. Fill in the body of the letter with some qualities you like about them and how special they are to you. Wish your friend the best and tell them you want to see them soon to close your letter.

Getting Ideas for Your Letter

• As you go through your day, take notes of little things you think your best friend would like, events you want to tell your best friend about, or just things you find funny. Your friend will appreciate that you include these little details about your daily life in the letter.
• You can do this in a physical notepad, but it can be convenient simply to keep notes in your phone using a note-taking application with a section titled “Best friend Letter.” [1] X Research source
• When you sit down to write your letter, look back over your notes to get ideas of what you want to include as you write.

• “If you were an animal, what animal do you think you’d be, and why?” You can even tell them what animal you think they are like.
• “If you could meet one fictional character in real life, who would you want to meet?”
• “If you could choose to magically have any ability or skill, what would you want to be able to do?”
• “Do you think aliens are real?”
• “What makes you happiest?”
• “What’s a food that you absolutely hate?”
• “Who do you have a crush on right now?”
• “What’s your favorite thing that we do together?”

• Plan to marathon your favorite movies.
• Decide you’re going to have a two-person book club.
• Think of a project you’d like to do together.
• List out places or attractions you’d like to visit.

• Think about the qualities you admire in your friend.
• Also, think of times that they helped you or made you feel better.

Writing the Letter

• If you choose unlined stationery, you can lay a piece of lined paper underneath to help guide you as you write.

• Also, if your letter is delayed for some reason, your best friend will know when you wrote it.
• This is especially important if you’re sending the letter far away.

• Then, for your greeting, you can simply start with “Hello!”
• Or, if you want it to be slightly more personal, try “Hello best friend!” or “Hey BFF!” or use a nickname that only you call your best friend.

• Don’t be afraid to use more than one sheet of paper.
• In this part of your letter, include your funny anecdotes and ask how your friend is.
• Write them an update on your life. They’re your best friend, and they want to know what’s going on with you. For example, if you have a new crush, let them know.
• Give them a list of things they might want to check out, like songs or TV shows.

• Say something like, “I love you! Write back soon!”
• End with “Your best friend,” or “Love,” and then write your signature.
• If you forget to write something in your letter, you can always go back and add a P.S. with the message you forgot.

• Draw a little picture of you and your friend, or add hearts and flowers.
• If you don’t want to draw, you can also use ink stamps or stickers to decorate the letter.

• A little bit will go a long way.
• Sniff the paper to make sure you can smell the perfume.

Mailing the Letter to your Best Friend

• Seal the envelope by licking it or using a sponge to wet the seal.
• You can also place a sticker or a piece of decorate tape over the front flap of the envelope for extra security and decoration.

• If you don’t plan to mail the letter, you can simply write the name.
• If you do want to mail the letter, write the street number and name on the line underneath the name. On the next line, write the city, state, and zip code.
• In the top left hand corner, write your own name and address. Then stick a stamp in the top right corner of the envelope.

• You can also take it to the post office, instead of placing it in your own mailbox. This will decrease the time it takes for your letter to get to your best friend.
• If you include anything extra in your letter that makes it heavier, it is a good idea to take it to the post office to make sure you use enough postage.

Best Friend Letter Sample

Community Q&A

• If you want to add something extra, enclose a little lightweight gift in your letter. For example, a good gift could be an origami heart or a sticker with your friend's name on it. Thanks Helpful 2 Not Helpful 0
• Always tell your friend about what is going on in your life and stay connected. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0

Tips from our Readers

• Write your letter in pencil first just in case you make mistakes. Fix your mistakes and then write the final draft in pen to show your friend that you care.
• If you're writing about something melancholy, then try to end your letter with something cheerful to lift your friend's spirits.
• If you do not have fancy stationery paper, then DIY your own using patterned tape, stickers, or small doodles.
• Give them something to boost their day, like a dollar in the shape of an origami heart.

Things You'll Need

• Paper for your letter
• An envelope
• Pen or pencil
• Markers, pens, or colored pencils for decorating
• A postage stamp (if mailing)

60 Letters To Your Best Friend to Celebrate Friendship

Heartfelt letters to best friend will express your love, gratitude, and admiration for your bestie. Best friends are like stars in the daytime sky – you may not always see them, but you know they’re there, brightening your world.

Emotional Letters To Best Friend

Thank you for sticking by me, getting to know my life, showing me the most sincere support and unconditional love. I couldn’t thank you enough for the countless amount of times that you have stuck by me when I needed you. I have no idea what I’d do without you sometimes… or all of the time. And I am so happy that I don’t ever have to find out. I love you!

Thank you for being by my side through tough times, for accepting me for who I am, and for never asking for anything in return. Without your support, I wouldn’t have been able to get out of my negative thoughts. You have never judged me for my flaws, and I’m so thankful for that. I hope to do the same for you and make you proud. Thank you for being my best friend.

Thank you for everything. No words could ever describe how eternally grateful I am for you and our friendship, but I can promise I’ll always keep trying my best to let you know how much I love you. I know our relationship is one that will last a lifetime. You are my person, forever and always. Hubert H. Humphrey famously said, “The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.” Thanks to you, I have too.

One of the biggest blessings has been finding a best friend like you. Your friendship has been the biggest gift you could ever give me. Your compassion, kindness, simplicity, gracefulness, and beauty – I am in awe. You give me strength when I break down. You lift me and give me confidence. You have loved me at my lowest and cheered me on at my highest. I love you for that, thank you.

As you already know, I am not the best at expressing my feelings. But since it’s your birthday, I wanted to write you a letter because you deserve the most extraordinary things in life. You are a beautiful soul, kind and sweet, who always thinks of others before herself. Your selflessness and innocence inspire me to become a better person every day. If Spring were a person, it would be you. I don’t know what I would do without you. Thank you for having my back, for accepting me the way I am, for never sugar-coating your words, and for loving me. I promise I will do the same.

You’re all that you need. Because you are so much stronger than you have even begun to realize. You’re honest and caring. You’re hilarious and intelligent. You’re strong and compassionate. You’re beautiful, and you’re powerful.

With you by my side, the world is a better place. The sun shines a little brighter, my smile expands a little bit broader, and also, at that moment, my issues disappear. You are one of the most beautiful individuals, inside and out. You are generous, caring as well as smart beyond your years. Your selfless love and kind soul make me love you more each day. Thank you for looking out for me when no one else did.

I respect you. I admire you. I’ll always be here for you to vent to or troubleshoot with. And I’ll always be here to lift you up and remind you just how amazing you really are.

We have survived through some difficult times together, supporting and inspiring each other every time we were about to give up. I wish we can continue being each other’s biggest supporters for the rest of our lives. I love you so much, and you are the most amazing best friend I could ever ask for.

I wrote my letter for you and sent it to you. It is deep. I couldn’t help but cry a little bit when I read it. My heart was happy at the same time, sad. I am serious. I have a lump in my throat just thinking about it now! You will never know how much you mean to me and how much your friendship means to me. I love you, my dear!

You have always been there for me. I know I can count on you no matter what I need. Whether I ask for a cup of sugar or a shoulder to lean on, you are my rock. Thank you for being there for me.

A little birdie told me that you are having a rough day, so I am here to cheer you up. I know these tough times are hard to deal with, but you are a strong, kind, and magnificent person, capable of winning against all odds. Don’t forget to take care of yourself and focus on your well-being. Others’ opinions and nasty comments don’t matter because you are talented and fabulous in your way. And I am here for you always, so don’t bottle up your feelings when you have me to rant to. I may not have all the answers, but I will bring ice cream, cookies, and a shoulder to cry on.

We’ve been together, and we’ve been apart. There have been miles between us and even hours in some cases, but we’ve always stayed friends. No matter what obstacles have been thrown in our path or how many other people have tried to tear our friendship in two, we’ve stood the test of time. Most people aren’t lucky enough to have such a strong friendship in their lifetimes, but I know how lucky I am to call you my best friend.

I just want you to know that I think you deserve the world. You are one of the kindest, most caring people I have ever met. You give of yourself without expecting anything in return. I hope you recognize how amazing you are.

Your friend is one of the most significant people in your life and missing you my friend messages help you express the sentiments you feel.

Letters To Best Friend To Make Her Cry

Thank you for showing me what love is. There’s something unique about a friendship bond that cannot be found in any other relationship. You have taught me what it means to be a loving friend and what it means to receive love, even if sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve it. You’ve loved me when I don’t have the strength to love myself.

Do you know that you are the one person in this world who I turn to when times are rough? I know you will always support me. When the world is crashing around me, you’ll be there to build me back up again. Thank you for your friendship and love.

I don’t think I tell you enough about how much you mean to me. You have seen me in my worst times, and yet here you are, protecting and loving me every single day. You are my safe space, where I feel accepted and comfortable, even when my life falls apart. As someone who has only ever been in toxic relationships, you showed me what wonders a healthy relationship could do to a person. Today, I get the strength to live each day happily because of you. You are my rock, and I hope I make you as proud as I am of you.

I’ve known you for a decade. We’ve seen a lot of changes. Relationships come and go, and so do success and failures. I’m so glad we’ve been together the whole time. I love and respect you so much. You are sweet, kind, loyal, and fun to be around. You deserve the best in life! I hope this is also the best year ever!

Everyone looks when you walk into the room. Your smile, laugh, and the way you carry yourself give every environment a sudden lift. I love that you are my best friend, so I can share in your radiant glow.

Has anyone told you what a charming person you are? You are funny and sweet, and every time you walk into a room, all heads turn your way. You have a magnetic quality to you that makes everyone love you. Your strength and passion always inspire me to do better, and your joy in life makes me want to live life to the fullest. We have so many exciting memories together, and I hope you are willing to make many more.

Thank you for being the ones I can always count on. Whether it’s bigger things like making sure I have the best birthday party ever or smaller things like always giving a shoulder to lean on and a hand to hold when life gets tough, you’re there by my side no matter what.

One of the most incredible things about you is that you don’t have to try to be so amazing. It’s just the way you are built. While the rest of us try to be half the friend you are, you naturally come by your friendliness and generosity.

I don’t know what I’d do if I ever lost you. You are such a huge part of my life and the best friend anyone could have. You always make me laugh and smile. I wish nothing but the best for you and know we will be friends forever.

I would have given you a concert ticket or a car because that’s what you wished, but I only have a heart that can love you until the end. And this sweater I bought because you will look good in it.

You are amazing. You are thoughtful, kind, funny, smart, and all of the things that make the perfect best friends. I know there is no way I deserve you, but I am glad you haven’t realized that yet! Hopefully, you never will.

I know I don’t say this enough but thank you for being you. You are the greatest friend I could ever ask for, and I feel God has sent you to me as my guardian angel. You always listen to my problems and try to help me in every way possible. You are always open-minded and accepting and never judge me for being the way I am. No one else can understand me the way you do, and I am so fortunate to have you in my life. Friendships like these come once in a lifetime, and I promise to cherish you forever.

Letters To Best Friend To Make Them Laugh

If I could take all your pain away and ease all your worry, I would. You have no idea how lucky you are to have a friend like me. No matter what, I would always be there for you.

There will never be another girl in the whole world that can compare to you, my best friend. I couldn’t imagine my life without you. I love you. My heart and soul, and everything we’ve been through make me sure of that fact. You are a fantastic person, and I cannot imagine a single thing that could make me love you any less than I do right now.

There’s so much we need to talk about. I need to show you all the new restaurants that have opened up in the area, and you need to tell me everything about your new place. You must have met many new people there, but you are not allowed to forget me, okay? I am your soul partner, and your parents love me, so there’s no way anyone can take my place.

You will always be the friend I can go to with anything—at any time. You will always make me laugh the hardest. No matter how long it’s been since we’ve spoken on the phone or how many days have passed since we’ve texted or how many months it’s been since I’ve gotten a real-life in-person hug—our friendship will always be strong, loyal, and most important—real.

You fill my life with an immense amount of happiness and love. I know that wherever life takes us, you will be part of my life. If we don’t talk for some time, we pick up right where we left off. Whenever I need you, I know you will always be there.

Words will never be enough to express how blessed I am to have a caring and loving friend like you in my life. I bless the day our paths crossed, and I will always be grateful every day for the gift of a lovely friend like you in my life. I love you more than you know.

You have actually influenced me to be a better person. I wish that I can somehow repay you for everything you have provided for me. Without you, I would be a completely different person. Thanks to you, I truly understand what love and true friendship are.

I’m so happy that you found me because my life without you is incomplete, just as my world without you is unimaginable. The bond between us is verbally indescribable, just as the happiness and joy that comes with you and your friendship are priceless and boundless. I love you more than you know.

How to Write a Letter to a Friend

A letter to a friend falls under the category of informal letters. Nowadays many of us use social media like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp to keep in touch with our friends. Most of us do not use letters to communicate with friends; however, we are more used to writing formal letters. It is natural that many people use the style of formal letters in informal letters. If you are not used to communicating with friends with letters, writing an informal letter may prove to be a little difficult for you. This is why we are going to give you a step by step guide on how to write a letter to a friend.

How to Write a Letter to a Friend – Step by Step Guidelines

Step 1: date and address.

Unlike in formal letters, we only write the address of the sender in the letter. This is written at the top right corner of the letter. The date follows the address. If you are writing to a very close friend who knows your address, you can omit the address altogether.

Step 2: Write a Salutation

You can begin the letter by writing a salutation. Unlike in a formal letter, you can use the first name of the recipient. When you are choosing the salutation, think about the relationship of the recipient and your style of writing. You can use salutations like,

Dear Sabine,

Hello, Sabine!

Dearest Sabine

Step 3: Begin with some Pleasantries

Since you are writing to a friend, the letter doesn’t have to be formal and serious. Your style can be warm and lighthearted. You can start the letter by enquiring about your friend and her family. Using questions like “How are you doing?”, “ How have you been?”, “How are you” are common ways to start an informal letter. Some other openers include,

Thanks for your letter…..

I hope you have been having a wonderful ……

I heard that……..

Step 4: Body of the Letter

In this part, you can write about your news, common interests, and questions. In brief, this part contains whatever information you want to share with your friend. Since this is a letter to a friend, your language doesn’t have to be formal. You are free to use colloquial expressions and slang. But this depends on your relationship with the friend and your style of writing.

Step 5: End of the Letter

End the letter with warm wishes and greetings. If you are writing the letter with a specific purpose, restate the purpose at the end. For example,

I hope you will attend my party!

If not, end with a general greeting.

Have a wonderful Christmas!

Hoping to hear from you soon!

Then write an appropriate closing. Some examples of closings include best wishes, regards, sincerely, take care, cheers, etc. Use a closing that matches the tone of the letter.

Friendly Letter Formats

40 best friendly letter format examples.

Many people choose to send friendly letters using formats that are readily available online. Instant messages and emails are even more common. While these methods are both convenient and easy, they lack a personal touch. You would feel better if the contents of your letters came from your own words instead of someone else’s sample friendly letters. Communicating in this traditional way tends will make you feel more sincere. It will also send your recipients your true intentions. Writing a friendly letter will show that you really care since you have gone through the trouble of writing the letter.

What is a friendly letter?

A friendly letter is a letter you write to your friends, relatives, peers, acquaintances, or anyone you know. The recipient doesn’t necessarily have to be a friend, just anyone you feel friendly toward. Friendly letters aren’t considered as formal written documents since there are no standard rules for writing or following the format of a friendly letter. Moreover, there really isn’t any solid reason why you would write this letter to a friend.

You might just want to say “Hello,” talk about different things, or share fond memories. Generally, you would write a friendly letter with the purpose of conveying a specific message. It is a means of communicating with the people in your life and keep touch with them. It can even serve as a “socializing agent” where you confess something, share secrets, get opinions, and more.

Friendly Letter Examples

What to include?

Writing your own friendly letter example instead of sending an instant message or an email gives a more personal touch. When writing this letter, you should think about the contents. A typical letter includes the following:

• Address. You should include your return address and the date when you wrote the letter.
• Opening salutation. Include an opening salutation that’s appropriate to your closeness to the recipient of your letter.
• Body. This part will contain the contents of your letter. It can be as short as a couple of paragraphs or as long as several pages. You can make it as long or short as you want.
• Closing salutation. This is where you would say goodbye. Again, your closing salutation would depend on how close you are to the recipient.
• Signature. Assuming that you will write a friendly letter for someone who knows you quite well, you can sign your first name or use your nickname.

A traditional friendly letter would be hand-written, then sent through post. Although this means that it will take a longer time for the letter to reach the recipient, it is highly recommended if you want your letter to have a personal touch. But with the advent of technology, friendly letters usually come in typed form, then sent through email. This is also acceptable but not as personal.

How to format a friendly letter?

When writing this letter, remember that it’s different from other forms in both format and content. For instance, this letter has a casual purpose, it won’t provide as much identifying information compared to business letters . However, even if you use a casual tone, you would like it to have the right format. Here are some tips for this:

• Heading. The recipient of your letter might like to write you back. Providing your address in the heading will make this easier for them. Like any other part of your letter, you should include specific content and spacing requirements. The heading should be in the upper-left-hand corner of your letter. Include your street address, your state, city, zip code, and the date when you wrote the letter.
• Salutation. This is where you would greet the recipient. Often, a simple “Hello” would do. Make sure to align the salutation to the left margin, capitalize the first letter of the greeting and the name, and add a comma after the last word. After this, skip 2 lines.
• Body. This is where you would communicate the information you want to convey. Organize the information into paragraphs to help your recipient understand your thoughts. Align this text to the left too. You may or may not indent the first word of each paragraph if you want. Asking about the recipient’s health or their current activities first is a good idea to show that you want to reconnect with them. Then you can state the purpose of your letter along with other relevant details. The last sentence should end with a statement of well wishes or hopes for a reply.
• Closing and signature. After the body, skip 2 lines. Indent the line to align with the heading. Then you can say goodbye to your recipient. Write your closing sentiment using a capital letter, then end it using a comma. Directly below your closing sentiment, add your signature.

Sample Friendly Letters

How to write a friendly letter format?

With today’s modern technology, most people send text messages or private messages on social media when they want to connect with friends. Of course, doing this is much that is an easy and practical way to do it but nothing beats a good, old-fashioned friendly letter. Here are some tips for writing this letter:

• Start your letter

If you will write the letter by hand, it would be nice to include a date on the top-left corner of your paper. There are many people who want to save their correspondence as mementos. With a date, the recipient of your letter can see the day and year they received it. This little piece of information will allow them to reminisce about earlier days. You can either write the date completely or abbreviate it by only using numbers that indicate the day, month, and year.

Whether you will write the letter by hand or type it on your computer, then print it out, you will always start with a salutation. This is the line where you would address the person to whom you’re writing your letter. The salutation to use will depend on the nature of your relationship with the recipient and your own style and preference too. Choose the greeting accordingly and make sure that it ends with a comma. After this line, you can start writing the body of your letter.

• Convey your message

It is always a good idea to begin the body of your friendly letter with pleasantries to give a lighthearted and warm feel. Doing this is also a good way to set the tone of your letter as it will give the recipient an idea of what the letter would contain. It shows that your letter is a friendly one rather than a formal or serious one.

Extend your warm greetings in the first lines of your letter. You could even share a joke or talk about a good memory. These are some common letter openings. You can think of this part as the opening small talk or a prelude to a more meaningful conversation.

The next part of your letter will contain the main content and the purpose of why you wrote it. Here, you could be as articulate, straightforward, and open as you want so that you can convey your message effectively. Write something about your life and no matter what this is, the recipient will probably appreciate your letter and feel much closer to you, especially if you share revealing information.

Relate to your friend, any events that have happened in your life, the emotions you went through when those events occurred, and any plans you have for the future. Of course, you don’t have to overdo it, Just try to portray your life realistically. Also, you should only share details you feel comfortable with.

It’s also a good idea to share topics that are relevant to your recipient. Include in your letter references relevant to your purpose too. You can ask questions to show you have an interest in the recipient’s life.

Discuss subjects that are of mutual interest like current events, politics, arts, or any other topic that you have already discussed with them in person. You can even suggest movies that you have watched or books that you have read that you think the recipient might appreciate. Sharing good information is a common and welcome tradition among friends.

• Close your letter

When you’re done with the main message, it’s time to wrap things up. The last paragraph of your letter should contain words of best wishes for the recipient. This part usually has a lighter tone compared to the body although it should still match the general feel of the letter. Try looking for the right words that will leave your recipient with positive feelings and thoughts. You can also mention the purpose of your letter again and encourage your recipient to write back.

When it’s time to write the closing, make sure to choose words that are in sync with the rest of your letter, whether you have written it using a casual or traditional tone. Just like your salutation, your closing will depend on your relationship with the recipient. After this, sign your whole name or nickname.

While not required, you may include a postscript. You would include a postscript or PS at the end of a friendly letter if you want. This is a great way to add more information that isn’t as relevant as the rest of the content in the body of your letter. You could include a joke, a note, or just leave this part out. If you do add a PS, make sure it matches the rest of your letter’s tone.

Formats Of A Friendly Letter

Mistakes to avoid

Although these letters don’t have any strict requirements or rules, you still want to write them well. Here are some common mistakes that you should avoid when writing a friendly letter:

• You don’t introduce yourself. This applies if you’re writing to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. You may remember their name but they might not remember yours. If you aren’t sure if your recipient will remember you, remind them by adding some details about yourself and how you met.
• Not using the correct punctuation. Even the best writers can have issues like this.  For instance, the simple placement of commas. Your recipient might not be an expert at writing, but they might still notice these small errors. Although they won’t blame or call you out for such, you still don’t want them to see such errors.
• Complaining too much. Even if your recipient isn’t a psychologist, you might want to share some sad or frustrating news. Just try not to focus on such details in your letter entirely. Just don’t hide any relevant information if it really matters.
• Making your letter too long. Remember that you’re writing a friendly letter, not a novel. A good letter should be no more than 3 pages in length. Your recipient might even appreciate a shorter letter as it will save them time. Also, try using shorter sentences to increase your letter’s readability.
• Not signing your name. A friendly letter isn’t a piece of formal writing. But it still has to follow the proper etiquette. For instance, you need to include a closing phrase and your signature. These are essential aspects of writing your letter, so you should always keep them in mind. When writing this letter, you may use informal language.
• Not proofreading your letter before you send it. Remember that when you write this letter, the intent isn’t to get a high score. But this doesn’t mean that you should ignore the basic grammar rules. With today’s messaging conveniences, getting a hand-written friendly letter is a wonderful surprise. Try to make this the perfect surprise for your friend.
• Not using proper divisions for your paragraphs. Although a friendly letter isn’t a piece of academic writing, you should still make it readable for the comfort and convenience of your recipient. Make sure that you start each new paragraph for new topics. For instance, your first paragraph could contain an explanation of why you wrote the letter. The next paragraph will contain your news. Keep going until you reach the end of your letter.

Personal Letter to a Friend

A Personal Letter to a Friend is an informal letter in which the writer shares personal information intended only for their friend. Writing a personal letter is an informal, intimate way of catching up with a friend.

For many years, personal letters and notes shared between friends were the primary method by which friends maintained contact and shared their experiences. Long before phones, typewriters, and computers were invented, letters between friends were the enduring basis of lifelong relationships. Now friends can write personal letters to each other via email if they choose, with a wide variety of design elements available.

Although many feel the personal handwritten letter is old-fashioned and outdated, some friends still maintain this friendship ritual to share secrets and essential events. This article discusses the elements of a personal letter and provides some tips for writing a great personal letter.

Why Write a Personal Letter to a Friend?

Friends eagerly look forward to news from one another. Regardless of the physical distance between you and your friends, writing a letter, email, or postcard to a friend reminds them of your friendship and your heartfelt concern for them. Writing personal letters to your friends takes a bit of time, but the rewards far exceed the effort involved. Letter writing is an intimate way to show your friends you are thinking of them.

Standard Elements of a Personal Letter to a Friend

An informal, personal letter to your friend will contain these elements:

• A salutation – this can be formal or informal, such as “Dear Friend,” “Hi, Friend!” or “Dearest {nickname},”
• Inquiries about your friend’s life and experiences
• Information about your life and experiences
• A closing, like “Best Regards,” “Warmly,” or “Love,”

The best thing about a personal letter to a friend is that it can contain anything you want. When writing a personal letter, there are no rules about what you can write or how you can write it.

Tips for Writing a Great Personal Letter to Your Friend

• Get creative with your letter’s format. Use postcards, personal cards, and special stationery items to write to your friends. If you are writing an email letter, use a special background, and typestyle to set the tone of your letter.
• Send special items with your letter. You might send local newspaper clippings, movie or play reviews, or an article you found particularly interesting.
• Ask for news from your friend’s life and let your friend know you are thinking of them.
• Tell your friend about your experiences, thoughts, and life events.
• Use a writing prompt if you don’t know what to write – we have provided some writing prompts below.
• If you and your friend share a hobby, share ideas, or send supplies.
• Decorate your letter and envelope with your personal touches.
• Try calligraphy or another personal style of lettering for your letter.

Sample Personal Letter to a Friend

December 12, 2022

I’ve been wondering how your holiday plans are coming along. Are you still planning on having a party this holiday season? I honestly don’t know how you keep up with everything. You must already be exhausted, and it’s only the 12th. I hope you are resting enough and taking some time for yourself. How are Henri and the kids? I do hope everyone is well and happy.

We are well, and working on finishing our semester to enjoy a bit of time off. Jackson and I both have exam papers still to grade and final grades to enter. Soon it will be the holiday, though, and we are looking forward to lounging at the house and doing some reading for enjoyment!

Seeing the holiday decorations recently reminded me of you and the holiday parties your mom and dad had every year when we were young. I remember so well the beautiful tree and the holly decorating the banister of your stairway.

Remember how we would sneak down to the kitchen for cookies and hot cocoa? We were so certain your parents didn’t notice, but looking back, it’s interesting how the cocoa and cookies were always on the counter and ready for us! The innocence of childhood is a wonderful thing. I know your kids are busy making lifelong memories just like we were.

I sent some recipes I cut out of one of my magazines and a tin of cookies I made with the holiday cookie recipe. They are just like the ones we snuck into the kitchen for when we were kids.

Emotional Letter to a Dear Friend

One of the best things about having a best friend is the connection that you share with each other. A bond that runs deep beyond any social circle, and a friendship that withstands the test of time.

Sometimes, you just want to express your gratitude towards your friend, tell them how much they mean to you, or simply say hello. While a call or texts might do the trick, a handwritten letter can do just the trick to exemplify and highlight how much you cherish and value your friendship.

😀 It’s amazing how much has changed since our childhood, but the one thing that has always remained constant is our friendship. With every bit of reminiscing, I’m reminded of how blessed I am to have you as my best friend. Thank you for being a constant source of comfort, laughter, and love. You’re appreciated more than you’ll ever know.

Your friendship has given me strength during my lowest lows and multiplied the joy during my highest highs.

😀 The world is undoubtedly a better place with you in it. Here’s to the beautiful journey we’ve had so far and to the many more incredible chapters yet to be written.

Why You Should Say Nice Things to Your Best Friend

Having a best friend who genuinely cares for and supports you through thick and thin is truly a gift. But friendship is a two-way street, so it’s important to express how cherished your BFF is as well. 

Taking time to give your bestie thoughtful compliments and write encouraging notes lets them know how much their friendship means to you. Uplifting your best friend with praise about their admirable qualities and achievements can make their whole day. 

Saying these heartfelt things also strengthens your bond. When you make your number one friend smile and feel appreciated, it will fill your heart with joy, too.

At the end of the day, friendship is all about showing up for each other. Make an effort to regularly remind your BFF how special they are with sincere compliments, sweet notes, or thoughtful gestures. Nothing feels better than making your favorite person beam from ear to ear!

1. Dear Madam/ Sir,

I am writing to recommend ____ for this role. She has been a valuable member of our team for many years. She has consistently demonstrated exceptional skills in his work.

It is my pleasure to recommend ____ for their exemplary record as an employee. They have been a valuable member of our team for nearly ____ years now, and I have seen first-hand just how hard they are willing to work to complete any task. Despite being new to the team, ____ became one of our most dedicated members within ____ months. Their commitment to excellence has never faltered, regardless of the challenges set before them.

How To Write A Goodbye Letter To A Friend

When writing a goodbye letter, you can mention any fond memories that both of you share. Remember, your friend cares about you, and they deserve to know how deeply you feel for them.

Here are a few samples for you:

3. Dear ______,

Saying goodbye is never easy, especially knowing that we won’t be just a stone’s throw away from each other anymore. But distance cannot dim the bond we have built, and I have no doubt that our friendship will only grow stronger despite the miles between us.

Remember all the crazy memories we have shared, from late-night study sessions to spontaneous road trips? Those moments are etched in my heart forever, and I can’t wait to create new ones with you, even if it means through video calls and virtual hangouts. As we embark on this new chapter of our lives, let us remember what Winnie the Pooh once famously said, ‘How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.’

As you spread your wings and soar to new heights, I will be cheering you on every step of the way and counting down the days until we can reunite again. Until then, take care, stay true to yourself, and never forget how much you’re loved and missed. With all my love and best wishes,

Yours ______

4. Dear ____,

It feels like I am saying goodbye to more than just you in this letter. I am also saying goodbye to the memories of when we used to spend so much time together. But deep down, I know that this is the best decision for both of us. We have both grown up and are moving on with our lives in different directions; it is not anybody’s fault. We just need to take time away from each other to find ourselves again before reuniting in friendship.

I wish you all the best in life and hope that we will meet again in happiness one day, with no regrets on either side. I will never forget what you have done for me, and I will never forget the memories we have made along the way. I will always be grateful for your kindness and friendship, even if it is just in my memory.

Of course, it is okay to feel sad about everything that has changed, but hopefully, you can focus on all the positive things that have happened in your life since your time together got over. While you cannot bridge the distance overnight, it feels good to be reminded that there is still someone out there who cares for you. And entering into a correspondence with them to tell your friend that they are always in your thoughts and prayers can do the trick quite well.

How To Write A Letter To A Friend You Miss

Writing a letter to an old friend can be difficult because it brings up a longing for the past. Just remind yourself that there are people who love you in your life now, and you can always try to bring back some of the good memories if you ever see them again.

Here are a few samples you can use to shape your thoughts:

5. Dear ____,

I hope this letter finds you well. It has been a while since we last caught up, and I find myself missing our conversations and the laughter we shared. Life has been busy, but amidst the hustle and bustle, I often think back to the moments we spent together and feel a pang of nostalgia.

I cherish the memories we have created, and I long for the opportunity to create more. Perhaps we could carve out some time in our schedules to reconnect over coffee or stroll through the park. Your friendship has always been a source of joy and comfort to me, and I would love nothing more than to spend some quality time catching up with you.

Until then, know that you are missed, and I am looking forward to the day when we can share a laugh together again.

6. Dear ____,

It has been far too long since I have seen your face or heard your voice. Things are going great for me right now. But I cannot deny that I have been missing you more than ever before ever since I moved to this city. It feels like a piece of my heart is gone, but I know it’s just because we are not close anymore.

You will always be one of my best friends, even if we are not in each other’s lives every day. I miss our conversations about the future and our time together. I wish you all the best, no matter what distance separates us. You know that if anything goes wrong or ever changes for me, I will never hesitate to call you.

You have always been my rock when things got tough, and I hope that we can meet up again one day. I want to tell you everything that has happened since we stopped talking. You will always hold a special place in my heart, and there is nothing more I would like than to see your smiling face.

7. Dear ____,

I have been putting off writing this letter for so long because I was not sure what to say to you. Sometimes life deals us cards we never expect, but it has been hard to wrap my head around the loss of your _____. I know that you must feel so lonely, but remember how proud your _____ would be to know you are doing so well in life.

They would not want you to grieve forever and would like you to go on with life for their sake and yours. So, take some time to remember all the great things about your _____, both in person and through their stories. It is never easy to say goodbye to someone who has meant so much but try not to think about sad things too often. Think of the good times instead, or talk with me whenever you need a friend.

I am sorry for your loss, ABC

It is never easy to express how you feel, but hopefully, the right words will come along. Just remember, it is okay to share your feelings with your friend as they mean a lot to you and deserve some special treatment now and then.

I know I have already told you how much I appreciate our friendship, but sometimes it is hard for me to find the right words. Sometimes I feel like there are just not enough words in the dictionary to express my feelings accurately.

You always understand when something is wrong, and you always know just what I need when I’m feeling down. You are one of the most caring people I know, and you never fail to put a smile on my face when I feel like I’m at the end of my rope. I have always felt disconnected from everyone around me, but somehow our connection makes everything feel right in the world.

I don’t know what I would do without you, and it is terrifying to think about. There is no one else I would rather spend my life with.

I love you, ____!

7 Things to Say When Someone Gaslights You

I magine you have a serious talk with your partner—yet when you bring it up a couple weeks later, they say: “We never had that conversation! You must be thinking of something else.” Or your boss gives you an assignment but omits crucial information, later berating you for falling short and claiming you were provided with the exact instructions you know you never received. Maybe you keep hearing that you’re overreacting, too sensitive, or misinterpreting things.

All are possible examples of gaslighting. The (frequently misused) term describes “the act of when someone is talking to or communicating with you, making you feel like your reality is being questioned,” says Laura Sgro, a therapist in Los Angeles who specializes in helping people navigate dysfunctional families or relationships. Over time, it can take a serious toll on mental health: “A lot of times people feel like they’re losing their grip on reality,” Sgro says. “What that can look like is a lot of self-doubt, and perhaps internalizing your own feelings and needs and not communicating them.” Anxiety and depression can follow.

Gaslighting exists on a spectrum, Sgro adds, and it’s not always possible—or safe—to engage with the person doing it. That’s because their goal is to win, not to problem-solve, she says, so you won’t get anywhere. But sometimes, especially if the gaslighting isn't a behavioral pattern, you can effectively shut down the conversation and prevent it from happening again. We asked experts what to say, and why it works.

"We seem to have different memories of that conversation. Here's what I remember happening."

Asserting your reality without blaming or accusing can go a long way, says Deborah Gilman, a psychologist in Pittsburgh. “This approach disrupts the gaslighter’s attempt to control the narrative,” she adds. By calmly stating your experience, “you plant a seed of doubt in their manipulation and show you won't be easily swayed.” She advises speaking clearly and confidently, while making eye contact. Gaslighters thrive on emotional responses, Gilman stresses, so stick to the facts and avoid getting defensive. If the other person tries to twist your words, simply restate your perspective: "Yes, that's part of what happened, but what I'm focusing on is…”

"I'm not comfortable with how you're characterizing the situation. Let's talk about [original topic] instead."

Gilman likes this way of setting a boundary and redirecting the conversation. “It takes control back,” she says. Plus, it directly addresses the other person’s behavior. If they continue gaslighting you, repeat the boundary: “I already said I’m not comfortable with this. Can we move on?” Becoming a broken record, she notes, helps ensure that what you’re saying resonates, while putting a stop to further arguing.

“We may not agree, but my feelings are still valid.”

If traffic signals regulated conversation, this response would be a “screeching red light,” Sgro says. As she puts it: “Where do you go from there?” Ideally, the other person will use it as an opportunity to look inward and reflect on the fact that their partner is feeling invalidated, which can temper the argument. Plus, “this approach really calls out that we’re not trying to be right,” Sgro says. “We’re just trying to express the way that we each feel.”

“Let's take a step back and write down what happened from both our viewpoints.”

When you’re not feeling heard, the best solution is often to take a break for a few minutes. Natalie Rosado, a licensed mental health counselor in Tampa, suggests taking it one step further and using your time apart to write down your perspective on what happened to spark the disagreement. While it's impossible to reason with some people who gaslight, others are open to having a conversation and arriving at a resolution—just not, perhaps, in the heat of the moment. Spending time together reviewing what you each wrote can be eye-opening. Plus, it serves another purpose: “You’re able to go back and review things that you've written down during previous incidents, so you can recall situations or conversations and have tangible evidence,” Rosado says. “It's a way to combat some of those thoughts when you’re wondering if you're losing your sanity or questioning your reality.”

“I feel like we're not on the same page. Can we involve a neutral third party to help us understand each other better?”

If gaslighting starts to become a pattern, you might benefit from working with a therapist —either together or separately. The goal isn’t necessarily to improve the relationship, Rosado notes. “More than anything, it’s to provide psychoeducation and support for the person who’s in a relationship with the gaslighter,” she says. “It's an additional person who can be an objective party—someone who can help them gauge their experiences.” It’s always good, she adds, to have a second set of eyes, especially on unhealthy relationship dynamics.

“Wow, that's an interesting way to remember things! Let's try to stick to the facts.”

Using humor can help take the power away from the gaslighter and make it less likely that they'll continue to try to manipulate you, says Jenny Maenpaa, a licensed clinical social worker in New York. She advises keeping your tone lighthearted and flashing a quick smile. Ideally, the other person will laugh and move on to a different topic of conversation. If they continue fixating on their version of events, Maenpaa suggests responding: "That's interesting. Maybe we can look at [evidence like texts or photos] to refresh our memories?”

“I've noticed a pattern in our conversations where my recollections are often questioned. Can we focus on finding solutions rather than debating memories?”

Rosado thinks of this response as “soaring above the content of the argument.” Instead of getting into a power struggle over the details of the incident, she says, it allows you to adopt a 360-degree view. “What you’re trying to do is say, ‘Let’s move past exactly how we remember that situation, and figure out possible ways forward,’” she says. “A way to do that would be to identify, ‘What would be a goal of mine in this relationship moving forward?’ and then, ‘What would be a goal of yours?’” It’s a constructive way to ensure you’re both on the same page—and that gaslighting doesn’t cast a shadow over your future relationship.

How to write a thoughtful thank you note

For many, the best way you can express gratitude to them, is telling them directly. Finding the right words to say can be difficult, but effectively communicating your appreciation can leave a lasting impression and demonstrate how much you truly care. Learn why you should write a thank you note and how to effectively express how you feel.

Why should you write a thank you note?

Everyone wants to know that they’re appreciated and cared for. The loved ones in your life may not actively seek this validation, but a simple “thank you” can brighten their day and go a long way in your relationship. Expressed gratitude can make it easier for both of you to show up for each other, relish in the experiences you shared, and energize each other’s lives. Despite its positive benefits, you may feel deterred from writing a thank-you note or expressing gratitude verbally because you fear your words might be ineffectively communicated or taken the wrong way. It’s normal to feel afraid, but it’s a temporary obstacle that can be overcome to shape fulfilling relationships where the efforts of both are seen and rejoiced.

How to write a thank you note

Crafting a meaningful thank-you note requires thoughtfulness and sincerity. If you are wondering what to write in a thank you note, here are a few tips to express your gratitude effectively:

1. Start with a salutation

Before you get started with writing your thank you note, begin with a salutation. Greet the recipient appropriately, given the nature of your relationship. If it is a colleague or someone you know in a professional capacity, keep it more formal.

2. Personalize your message

Tailor your thank you note to the recipient and the specific gesture or gift they provided. Take the time to reflect on the impact of their actions and convey your appreciation in a genuine and heartfelt manner.

3. Be specific

Avoid generic phrases and instead, be specific about what you’re grateful for. Acknowledge the thoughtfulness behind the gesture and highlight the ways in which it has positively impacted your life.

4. Express your emotions authentically and meaningfully

Don’t be afraid to show emotion in your thank you note. Let the recipient know how their kindness made you feel and the profound effect it had on your day or your life.

5. Keep it concise

While it’s important to convey your gratitude thoroughly, strive to keep your message concise and to the point. Selective word choice ensures your message is intentional and received appropriately. To ensure your writing is concise, avoid using passive voice , check for run-on sentences, and avoid filler words. Create a draft of your note, proofread, and edit your note before you craft the final product.

6. Handwrite your note

Make the delivery and medium as intimate and personal as your appreciation. A handwritten note is rare and can be cherished. You can add colorful writing, stickers, or drawings to personalize the experience. Take the time to write your note by hand so your writing is beautiful to read and conveys sincerity and thoughtfulness.

7. Follow up and give back

Consider following up your thank you note with a small gesture of your own, such as a phone call, a token of appreciation, or a reciprocal act of kindness. This demonstrates your ongoing gratitude and strengthens the connection between you and the recipient.

Writing thank-you notes is one of the best ways to express gratitude and deepen your relationships. You can effectively convey your appreciation and care by intentionally personalizing your message, concisely communicating how it impacted you, and adding a personal touch to your note. More than anything, if you demonstrate how much you care and appreciate your loved one’s actions, it will go a long way in your relationship, warming your heart and theirs.

By absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, trees play a vital role in maintaining the balance of gases in our atmosphere. This process not only supports human life but also sustains the entire ecosystem.

A.3 Trees benefit the environment by producing oxygen, improving air quality, reducing climate change, saving water, maintaining soil, and providing habitat for wildlife.

Blog > july writing prompt: friendships.

The writing prompts invite postcrossers to write about a different topic on their postcards’ messages every month. These are just suggestions though — if you already know what you want to write about, or the recipient gives you some pointers, that’s great too!

22nd July is the United Nations’ International Day of Friendship , so what better time for Postcrossing to ask about a topic near to everyone’s heart: friendship!

At the moment my friends from university are scattered all over the UK, but every so often we like to meet up and have a meal. I’m very lucky to live close to the friend I’ve known all my life, though. We were born in the same hospital, went to the same nursery, and then to the same junior school. We’ve been there through thick and thin, and it was her wedding I wrote about on the blog for May’s writing prompt . As you might expect, over the years we haven’t always had the same interests, and we’re almost more like siblings than anything else, so generally we keep our relationship healthy by meeting up often and chatting, rather than shared activities. Lately we’ve been going for walks around a local country park, at Newmillerdam . It’s a lot of fun watching the changes through the year. It’s my turn to buy us ice cream this weekend, too!

Mostly, though, my day-to-day interactions with friends are with online friends who I met through the massively-multiplayer online game, Final Fantasy XIV—I’ve been having incredible fun over the last couple of years meeting up with them in the game and doing things together, like playing hide-and-seek (I’m not very good at it), doing the game’s treasure hunts, and doing “raids” (difficult fights that require a lot of coordination). A large part of the game is made to be experienced with 3–23 other people, so there are lots of opportunities to team up.

Plus I’ve ended up meeting one of them (so far) in person! Over the last year and a half I’ve dragged my new friend “Prof” to several bookshops, a zoo, and a surprise trip to a botanical garden (because he loves plants). Perhaps in July we should start planning our next adventure, in honour of International Day of Friendship! Do you have any special plans to hang out with your friends in July? We’d love to hear about it here, and you can write about it on your postcards if you’re stumped for what to say!

That's so lovely prompt. I can remember many friends that I may hold my head on their shoulder. Thanks for the prompt.

I have not very much friends - but the friends I have are VERY good friends. We are always there for each other in all situations, whether difficult or funny, some for a lifetime. It is not the number of friends that is important, but the intensity of the friendship. Thank you, all my friends !

Oh no,there comes another excuse for me to write postcards:3

treasureisland said it well. I have those close friends too. Thank you to my friends.

Unfortunately, things went a little differently for me. i met my so-called best friends when my husband died. but there were others who picked me up. i'm proud of them today

I have no friends. I have been disappointed too often. Therefore, it is better to be alone than in bad company

My best friend is someone I met on a bus in 1983 when my car broke down. While she was 15 years older than I, we connected on a surreal spiritual level and we’ve been friends ( my best) friend ever since. She knows my son as a little boy, now turning 37 in two weeks. She is a treasure in my life. She now lives some distance from me but we see each other every other month. She is Canadian,

I just read the persons comment about not having friends. I see people as selfish, self centered and into their own world. I am by myself alot despite being my grandsons nanny and teaching art. Other than that, I am alone alot as well. I’m a widowed woman of 71 and I would love to have even another close friend to hang out with. I share your sentiment about disappointment. Write to me and I’ll correspond with you. Where in the world do you live? I’m in the US: California.

I also really like ff14!

I normally hang out with my sisters by heart either eating in each other's house, go to the casino but most of the time talk about what is new in our lives.

I'm 81 years old and most of my friends have either died or moved away. I have a BFF whom I met in college and we are still close friends ~60 years later, but she lives 100 miles away and neither of us drives any more, so I don't see her often, but we have email and Facebook. My other BFF ghosted me very painfully and it makes it difficult for me to think of making new friends

Hello to all my postcrossing friends. Today’s my birthday and my neighbor and good friend since1980 took me to breakfast at our local Indian restaurant. I now exchange interesting adages with Yana, who out of the blue contacted me through postcrossing. I will be sending this special friend a postcard today and request a new address to which I’ll send a postcard because what nicer way to spend one’s birthday than postcrossing?📫🖋🔖 To Shivetta, Perhaps you can establish a postcrossing pen pal or two to share your joys and sorrows with. Don’t let a few bad experiences keep you from the satisfaction of new friendships.

Thanks to Postcrossing I have become friends with Maire in Toivakka, Finland. We send emails each week. This makes me so happy. I’m learning about her beautiful and happy country. I’m sharing all about my life with her. This friendship is one of the very best I have ever known in my 76 years!

My friends are all over the country and none in my state so I see them once or twice a year. We usually make a vacation out of it and meet up somewhere to explore for a couple days. It makes me very happy

You dont have to worry about cleaning up when your friend comes around

Ah, a touchy subject for me.

Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.

And my best friends are God and my parents. I don't have anyone in the world who is the same sincere and loyal friends. Other people are busy at their jobs, but sometimes we see each other to find out how each other is doing.

I moved from the Netherlands to Canada in 2007. Left good friends and family behind. Thank god for my new Canadian friends. I can't not live with out them even if I do nothing with them when they're around. That's friendship.

I met great friends and get to know more when I moved from Middle East to USA, I would say Postcrossing is best known for postcards but also it's the catalyst for meeting new friends, closing up the distances, it's a small world!

My circle of friends has come from some really good, steady friends to virtually zero. And like a relationship, I find one can't make friendships happen. Also, the older I get and the better I know people, the less likely I am to get too involved with someone again.

Either I can do something alone (be it something nice, or difficult), or I can't do it.
