How to write informal letter?

Letters written for your loved ones or friends are recognized as informal letters. It is written differently from the formal letter. These are personal letters that cannot be used for official purposes. The informal letters are mainly written to inform you about yourself, any news, ask for apologies, or thank you for your ideal. An invitation can also be sent through these informal letters.

Informal letters can be written on many topics as these letters are personal letters to friends and family. Some of the reasons can be those mentioned below:

• A letter to invite someone on someone’s birthday.
• A letter to know about Grandma’s health.
• Letter to describe any of the incidents that happened.
• A letter to congratulate someone for any success (school results, promotion, buying a new car), etc.
• A note to say sorry or to say thanks as per the situation.

As personal news is infinite in the same way, the topics for writing informal letters are endless.

Dear Smith, 

Hope you are doing well, Smith? I am fine also, by the grace of God. I want to let you know how my studies are going. 

Well, I am working hard on my studies. Maximum subjects prepared. But in Physics, I am facing some problems. The numerical theory based on numbers is proving difficult for me to understand and solve. I am trying my best to cope with this problem. The subject History is lacking my concentration as I feel it as a boring subject. But working on it too to make it interesting for me to learn the issue properly. 

The preparation for the rest of my subjects is good enough. I am willing to get good results. I have discussed my practice and progress. Now, I wish to know about yours too. Do write me a letter in reply to this. I will wait for your reply. Give regards to the family members.

YourYours loving friend

John
