An Informal letter sample
Hi…, I'm sorry I haven’t been able to keep in touch for a while. I hope you and
your family are doing fine. For now, I'm writing to share something that's been bothering me. As the saying goes, 'A friend in need is a friend indeed'.
Well, it might sound silly but I'm deeply upset about the fact that I haven’t done well in my previous exams. First of all, I was sick. Cold and flu kept me abed for a week. And then, there was the case of my far relatives (from abroad) coming to visit every now and then. There was another reason that my teachers were no so qualified for the subjects they thought. It was a little bit unnerving but I did work extra hard to cope up. I know my reasons are genuine but nevertheless, my parents were very disappointed in me (this might be the main reason why I am upset). But now that I've said most everything, I do feel better.
As for you, I would like to congratulate you on moving to your new home. Do you like it? Have you adjusted? Tell me all about it in your next letter.
Covey my regards to your parents and siblings. Your friend, Sam
