A 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, make sure it looks presentable). Also the first line of each
paragraph is indented.
1 - Your Address
All that is needed is your street address on the first line and the city and post code on the
second line. (Not needed if the letter is printed on paper with a letterhead already on it.)
2 - Date
Put the date on which the letter was written in the format Day Month Year i.e. 11 January
2011. Skip a line between the date and the salutation.
3 - Salutation
Usually starts out with Dear ....., or Hi ...... 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).
4 - Body
The body is where you write the content of the letter. It usually has three paragraphs with a
skipped line between each paragraph. Skip 2 lines between the end of the body and the
closing.
5 - Closing
Tells the reader that you are finished with your letter; usually ends with Yours, Sincerely,
With love, 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.
6 - 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 add the P.S.
7 - 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.
