Today, handwritten letters seem to be echoes of centuries past. We can hardly imagine what it is like to sit at a desk, pick up paper and pen, and write a letter. But one way or another, everyone will have to face this at least once in their life, so you need to figure out how to learn how to write letters.
Instructions
Step 1
Write from the bottom of your heart If you are writing a letter to a friend or grandmother, do not limit yourself to two lines. A letter is not an SMS message. Start with an abstract introduction, such as what you were doing before you sat down to write. Don't write your daily routine in a letter. Include in the letter more description, reasoning. Ask the other person questions and ask for their advice or opinion. Write a letter from the bottom of your heart. Dry, succinct phrases of the letter can alienate your interlocutor, as he will think that you were reluctant to write.
Step 2
Write Correctly It would be more accurate to say - try to write correctly. Remember that letters train our speaking, since it is more difficult to build written sentences than oral ones. Don't write in one-part sentences. Build your sentences in a detailed and understandable way. Do not write nonsense in your letter that will not be interesting to the reader. Before writing a letter, think over an approximate plan of what you are going to write about - this way you will avoid various kinds of "postscripts" at the end. Important letters are best written using a draft.
Step 3
Do not write a letter if you have no desire Letters are written in a good mood, since the paper, or rather what is written on it, conveys your emotions and feelings to the addressee and can cause an unpleasant aftertaste after reading the letter, unwillingness to answer it.
Step 4
Keep an eye on your handwriting If you have decided to write a letter by hand, try to keep your handwriting quite legible and readable.
Step 5
Do not be distracted by extraneous matters when writing a letter If you are sitting down to write a letter, it is better to set aside enough time for this, for example an hour. Do not be distracted at this time from the letter, otherwise it may turn out to be incoherent.
Step 6
Sign your signature at the end of the letter. If you typed the letter on a computer, then sign it manually.
Step 7
Respond to letters that come to you Do not leave letters addressed to you unanswered, in particular if they are letters from your relatives or friends. By not responding to letters, you show disrespect and inattention to loved ones who are interested in your life.
