• In a friendly letter it should say:
Dear _______,(place the name of the
person you are writing
to in the blank)

The Body
• In the body of the letter you include what you want to say to the person you are writing to. This could be anything you want.
• The body goes below the greeting and is indented.
Don't forget to check your spelling, grammar and indentation!

The Closing
• The closing is where you sign off and say goodbye.
• The first letter is capitalized and a comma is placed at the end.
• The closing goes below the body and aligned with the heading.
• You can use: Sincerly, Your Friend, Love or some variation.

Signature
• The easiest part of all! This is your name. • Make sure you capitalize your name.• Since it is a friendly letter, you need not
include your last name.
