Fillable Printable Free Friendly Letter Format

Free Friendly Letter Format

In the friendly letter format, your address, date, the closing, signature, and

printed name are all indented to the right half of the page (how far you indent in

is up to you as long as the heading and closing is lined up, use your own

discretion and make sure it looks presentable). Also the first line of each

paragraph is indented.

Your Address

All that is needed is your street address on the first line and the city, state and

zip on the second line. (Not needed if the letter is printed on paper with a

letterhead already on it.)

Date

Put the date on which the letter was written in the format Month Day Year e.g.

August 30, 2003. Skip a line between the date and the salutation.

Salutation

Usually starts out with Dear so and so, or Hi so and so. Note: There is a comma

after the end of the salutation (you can use an exclamation point also if there is

a need for some emphasis).

Body

The body is where you write the content of the letter; the paragraphs should be

single spaced with a skipped line between each paragraph. Skip 2 lines between

the end of the body and the closing.

Closing

Let's the reader know that you are finished with your letter; usually ends with

Sincerely, Sincerely yours, Thank you, and so on. Note that there is a comma

after the end of the closing and only the first word in the closing is capitalized.

Signature

Your signature will go in this section, usually signed in black or blue ink with a

pen. Skip a line after your signature and the P.S.

P.S.

If you want to add anything additional to the letter you write a P.S. (post script)

and the message after that. You can also add a P.P.S after that and a P.P.P.S. after

that and so on.
