that is needed is your street address on the first line and the city, state and zip on the second line.

Sample Friendly Letter
Dear Susan,
It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. I know it's only been
several weeks since I saw you. So far my summer has been great!
I spend my all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can
no longer say I am paler than you. I have been playing lots of volleyball, surfing
and building a nice collection of sea shells. Just this past weekend I took second
place in a sandcastle building contest!
On the weekdays I work. I drive an ice cream truck around and sell ice cream
to the kids. It is so cool. It is a combination of the two things I love most, ice cream
and kids. The pay isn't too great but I love the job so much.
I hope the summer's been going well for you too. There's only a month and a
half left in summer vacation and after that it's back to school. Would you like to
meet up some time to before school starts?
P.S. John Austin says hi.
