To write a letter to the front, you need to mentally prepare for this. Messages from home are valuable because they carry a charge of optimism that has helped and is helping soldiers to survive in inhuman conditions.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare for the fact that you will write a letter to the front. Remember that your relative will be interested in all the details of your life, even if in fact you live in the old way. In war, ordinary life seems to be something out of reach, and your letter will be a confirmation that it does exist.
Step 2
Try to write the letter in a calm state, otherwise your anxiety and pain against your will will show through in the lines of the message, and this will upset the fighter. But such news is needed just in order to maintain and strengthen the morale of the soldiers, and not to oppress it.
Step 3
Start your letter with a message. If you are writing to a close relative or friend, do not skimp on the words "dear", "cute", "beloved". If in a peaceful life they are rarely given great importance, then at the front each of them is valuable. Be sure to put the date at the beginning of the letter (you can even indicate the exact time). This will help the front-line soldier feel himself next to you again, on such and such a specific day and hour.
Step 4
In your letter, tell us about everyone the fighter left at home when he went to the front. You should not talk about illnesses and misfortunes, unless there is a serious reason for it. You can mention that there were minor troubles, but now everything is fine. Tell us in detail about what you are doing (literally by the hour), who you meet, what you talk about with other family members. In the warmest words, express hope that soon you will all be together again.
Step 5
Ask him to tell you in the next letter about his friends, what kind of people he meets, and how soon your letter arrived. Avoid asking about the war. If necessary and possible, the fighter will write about it himself.
Step 6
At the end of the letter, convey greetings and obeisances from all relatives - near and far, acquaintances and friends. Ask him to take care of himself and, if you are believers, be sure to say that you are praying for him. Write that you look forward to his return as soon as possible. If you or your family members have recently taken a photo, please include one of the photos in your letter.
