greetingDear Phil,
The second part of the friendly letter is the greeting. We write it under the heading at the left side. It begins with a capital letter and ends with a comma.
What do you want to say to the person you are writing to? We put what we want to say in the body of the letter. The body of the letter is in paragraph form.
How is your summer holiday? Not too hot I hope. Are you going to visit your grandparents this summer ? Are you flying to Toronto? People say Toronto is a beautiful city.
The closing and signature are the last parts on the friendly letter. Your closing can be:
From your friend , Yours,
The closing begins with a
capital letter and ends with a comma.
The signature you write your name under the closing.
