Sometimes relatives are far away, and letters remain the only way to keep in touch with them. However, the epistolary genre is almost forgotten today, and so I want to please loved ones with a warm message, which they will read with interest. How can this be done?
Instructions
Step 1
It is important to whom your message is addressed. It is better for young people to send an email, complete with photographs and a variety of emoticons. The older generation generally prefers paper letters. In this case, choose an elegant envelope. In addition to writing, you can put a photo or an eye-pleasing postcard with the image of flowers or beautiful landscapes in it.
Step 2
Decide on the main subject of the letter. It can be some important event, for example, a story about a wedding, a trip, or the first day at a new job. Sometimes there is no main topic, and you have to consistently share a variety of news and impressions. In this case, the ability to clearly express your thoughts will be especially useful to you.
Step 3
Be concise. After the traditional greeting and polite questions about health and life in general, move on to the main thing. Think about what is most interesting to your addressee. If they expect specific information from you, for example, about how you settled in a new place, start with it. Then move on to secondary questions.
Step 4
Try to write in such a way that the letter gives a complete picture of your life. And it consists not only of important news, but also of impressions. Your family will probably be interested in who you are friends with, what films you have watched recently, and what you plan to do next weekend.
Step 5
If you are forced to break the news, be delicate. Do not end or start the letter with them, let everything unpleasant be somewhere in the middle, and at the end of the message, support your loved ones, tell them that you love them, wish them all the best. When finishing your paper letter, put a date.
Step 6
Whatever you write about, be sincere. Do not try to come up with special speech patterns, express your thoughts simply and clearly, without pretentious phrases, and also do not neglect the spelling rules. Then you can in the best way be able to convey to your loved ones everything that is in your soul.
