An informal letter is a type of personal correspondence that is written in a more casual tone. The following is a common format for an informal letter:
Sender’s Address: Start with your own address, which can be either at the top of the page or in the upper right-hand corner. Your address should include your name, street address, city, state, and postal code.
Date: Skip a line after your address, and write the date in the format of month, day, and year. You can use the same format throughout the letter.
Salutation: Use a casual greeting such as “Dear [First Name],” followed by a comma.
Introduction: Start with an introductory paragraph that sets the tone for the letter and provides any necessary context or background information.
Body: Use one or more paragraphs to provide the details or information that you need to convey. This can include personal news, anecdotes, or other information that you want to share with the recipient.
Closing: Conclude your letter with a friendly and informal closing such as “Take care,” “Best regards,” or “Yours truly,” followed by a comma.
Signature: Skip four lines after the closing, and type your name. If you are printing the letter, leave space for your handwritten signature.
Here’s an example:
[Your Name]
[Your Street Address]
[City, State ZIP Code]
[Date]
Dear [Recipient’s First Name],
[Introduction]
[Body]
[Closing],
[Your Signature]
[Your Typed Name]

Dear [Friend’s Name],
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you today to bring to your attention a unique opportunity that I came across recently. Mr. Shrihari Jadhav is organizing a SUMMER Camp for children at Shivpuri Colony, Omerga, from 16th May to 30th May, 2021.
The camp has a lot of exciting activities lined up that can help us develop our personality, improve our hidden qualities, and boost our confidence. As you know, summer breaks can be long, and it can be challenging to find productive ways to spend our time. This camp is an excellent way to make the most of our vacation while also learning new skills.
Apart from these benefits, the camp is also a good social activity where we can interact with children our age from different parts of the city. This can be an excellent opportunity to make new friends and broaden our horizons.
The fees for the camp are only 2000/-, which is quite reasonable considering the benefits that the camp offers. I think it would be a great experience for us to attend this camp together and learn and grow in a fun and engaging way.
I hope you consider my proposal and join me at the SUMMER Camp. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Tanvi / Tanmay Mugale
