The plan of a letter
All letters are made up of these six parts
We can begin analyzing the form in a very simple example
| The heading Date The salutation The body of the letter The complimentary close Signature |
There are some very important things to notice in a letter.
1.The address in the heading is very important. If you want an answer, you'd better put it on every letter. Not everybody keeps an address book.Besides people throw envelopes away as soon as they have opened them.
2. The date is an essential part of a letter. Don’t ignore it.
3. The salutation is given at the left side of the sheet below the heading. It stands like this.
Dear, Mr. Smith.
You can say just "Bob" if you want to; but there is nothing either effeminate or presumptuous about
addressing any body as "Dear" in a letter, even if you wouldn't do it in person. Also, it saves time
and effort to do it automatically, instead of care fully weighing details that don't matter. You can
substitute either a dash or a colon for the comma, if you prefer, or use no punctuation here at all.
4.The body of the letter is the most important part. In writing it, please, start a new paragraph every
time you change to a new subject. Your aim is to write it clearly. You’d better write interesting
letters to your friends, thus you show your respect your friend and value friendship.
The length is not very important, but remember that it shouldn’t suddenly abrupt your message.
It’s not very polite.
5 The complimentary close is “Good bye”-phrases. Then you sign your name.
6. The superscription is envelope address.
You should write your own name and address in left upper left-hand corner or on the back flap
of the envelope. The name and address of the person to whom the letter is sent is written on the
lower half of the envelope.

Dear Kate,
Thank you for your letter. I have wanted to write you for so long and I hope you are not angry and forgive me.
Please thank your brother for his letter to me. Andrew's letter was so interesting. I liked the way he talked to us at the kitchen table after dinner that night. Bet you are surprised that I remember so much. I try not to forget anything about my trip to Moscow and my stay with your family. In all honesty that was one of the best parts of the journey.
I have two jobs. I work at a chocolate shop three days a week making and selling chocolate. The other days I work at my uncle's office doing some research work for a paper he wants to publish. Both jobs pay me $6.50 or $7.00 per hour. The minimum that anyone in this country can be paid for hour is $4.25. So, I guess I do pretty well for someone of my age.
You seem to be very preoccupied with your studies. All your courses sound very serious. I am so happy that you are taking the US Geography course and are interested in world events.
By the way, your English is excellent. I think you actually improve it every time I get a letter from you. I want to learn Russian so much, Kate. Probably I should go to some course of Russian in Moscow. Wouldn't that be great?
Give your parents and Andrew my warmest regards. Write soon.
Love,
Rachel
