Informal Letter Writing
সুপ্রিয় ২০২৪ সালের ‘O’ level পরীক্ষার শিক্ষার্থী বন্ধুরা, শুভেচ্ছা নিও। আজ তোমাদের English Language থেকে ‘Informal Letter Writing’-এর বাকি Discussion নিয়ে আলোচনা করা হলো।
Introduction and Body of the Letter
The words you use determine the nature of your letter. You can start your informal letter with an introduction to set the tone of the matter that is going to be discussed. You can begin by enquiring about the health and well-being of the recipient. For instance, I hope this letter of mine finds you in the pink of health. You can then explain the reason behind the letter and provide the details as elaborate as you wish to, unlike formal letters. The letter can be more like a friendly chat than an essay. You can write in a very casual and personal tone. If you are writing to an older person, do not use disrespectful terms or sentences.
Conclusion
End the informal letter on a friendly note. Use words in such a way that the recipient feels like they have had a wonderful time chatting with you. See to that you make sure you let them know that you would be awaiting their response to your letter.
Forms of Subscription/Signature
You can use the following in informal letters to relatives and near friends: Yours affectionately, Yours lovingly, Your loving friend, With love, etc., followed by your name (mostly your first name). If you are writing to a close acquaintance whom you have addressed as Dear Mr, Mrs, etc., you can use Yours sincerely, Kind regards, etc.

Dear Mac,
I hope this letter finds you in the best of spirits. When I visited last week, you seemed a little bit depressed.
Come on boy, you should thank God for giving you a fresh lease of life. Everything is going to be fine very soon. I even talked to your doctor this morning and he told me that you are out of danger now.
You will have to remain in the hospital for a few more days but that is not something you should be concerned about. Your family and friends are there for you. Don’t forget that life is a mixture of joys and sorrows. By the way, all of us have decided to celebrate your recovery as soon as you come home you will be throwing a party the day you come back home from the hospital. Hope to see you soon. My parents and younger sister have sent you lots of love and wishes.
Wish you a speedy recovery!
Yours truly
Alex
