These days, people have gotten lazy and when they want to tell their friends something, they just text it. But, in the olden days, they had to write letters! Yep, whenever you wanted to tell someone something, you either met them in person, or sent them a letter. Though in the modern world most people don't send letters (as I mentioned before), its still important to know how to write one. Lets take a look!

Dear Cleo,
Hope all is well. How's school going? The other night, i tried to call you, but it says that your phone is broken so i had to send you this letter. What DID happen to your phone? Life around here is pretty boring since you moved. I spend most of my time eating candy in the treehouse or doing homework. Yesterday, Josie ate my homework and mum locked her in the bathroom. She just barked and barked till we let her out, but I keep my homework under lock and key now!
Miss you,
Isabelle
The letter above is a good example letter with perfect formation. These are the things that letters need:
Senders details
Date
Greeting
Body
Signature
So, if you ever need to write a letter, you know what to do! Write your details, the date on which you are writing it, a friendly greeting, the body text and your signature.

Write a letter to a friend and make them your 'Pen Pal'. Will they answer?
