What's the difference between a formal and an informal letter?

Slide 8 - Open question

Writing an informal  letter or e-mail
Writing an informal letter/email may sound like a game without rules, but it’s not. When you write to a friend, a family member, a colleague or an acquaintance, it doesn’t mean there are no conventions or do’s and don’ts. The only thing is that there are fewer than in a formal letter/email.

EXAMPLE


In order to introduce you to writing a good informal letter, let’s start with an example: 

Slide 10 - Slide

What's important in a good informal letter? Type it here:

Slide 11 - Open question

1. The address
The address should only be added to a letter when you are not sure if the receiver knows your address. So don’t put it there when you’re writing to your father/mother. It is put in either the top righthand corner or the left-hand corner; you can choose.

Slide 12 - Slide

2. The date
The date is put under the address (don’t forget to skip a line!). Unlike in Dutch, in English you write down the month in letters (don’t forget to capitalise the first letter!). Using a comma is optional, so it’s up to you.

3. The salutation
Usually you start with “Dear ….”. If you know the person very well you can also use “Hey” or “Hi”. If you want to be a “Yo”, be a “Yo”! 

Slide 14 - Slide

4. The body
Each paragraph should contain one idea and serves as a mini story.

Look at the example and you’ll see when it is natural to start a new paragraph.
• The first paragraph can be used for thanking someone, asking how someone is doing, telling them how you are doing, etc.
• The last paragraph is used to make arrangements, send regards to others
• The other paragraphs deal with the real subject matter of the letter; usually the reason why you are writing. This can be anything: a problem, a request, information, etc.

5. The complimentary close
Depending on who you are writing to, your close may range from “Kind regards”, “All the best” to “Love, hugs and kisses”. A P.S. may be added if you have forgotten to write something in the body. If you want to include a picture, you write “Encl.”/“Enclosed” underneath the letter. If your letter is longer than one page, you write p.t.o. (please turn over) at the bottom of the page.
