Article: There are several reasons you might write a letter to a friend. Maybe you're catching up after a long time apart or you have something exciting to tell them about. Remember that you can also write a letter to ask how your friend is doing. If you haven't gotten a letter from your friend in a while, you can send a letter to ask if everything is alright or to find out if things have been busy for them. Place your current street address in the upper left-hand corner of the letter. It's always a good idea to include this information, because your friend may have lost your address. You should also put the date, so they have a frame of reference for what you're talking about. For example, if you've been writing a lot back and forth, including the date is useful so you can tell if they're responding to a letter that you recently sent them. If you'd like to write a quick note, keep it short. For these fast letters, you can use a small notecard. To write a long letter with a lot of information and detail, get out several pages of stationery or a large card. If you don't think you'll be able to fit everything you want to say in a card, use note paper, lined paper or some smart/Pretty stationery. This way you can add extra sheets. Handwriting a letter can make it more personal, but you have to practice good handwriting so your letter is legible. If you like to write in cursive, ensure that your friend can easily read it. It's also fine if you prefer to type up the letter on a computer. Since you're writing to a friend, keep the salutation casual. You can address the person by name or call them an endearing term. The salutation can also be happy or excited. For example, use: Hello, Joanne! Hi, Jo Dear Joanne Dearest Jo

Problem: Article: It's generally best to break up in person, if you can, so that your partner can get the closure that he or she needs. Show respect for the time and energy that you have both poured into this relationship. This can be one of the hardest parts about ending a long-distance relationship. You may feel obligated to break up in person, but you have trained yourself to make the most of your time together. These visits can become a sort of fantasy--a vacation from everyday life--and it is difficult to break the pattern. If you have plans to visit your partner soon, then take advantage of this visit. If you don't have anything planned, then consider going to visit them as soon as you can. You don't need to make up a reason, but it also may not be wise to inform your partner that you are coming to break up with them. Just go. If you are holding on to any of your partner's possessions--say, his sweater, or her favorite book--this is a perfect opportunity to return them. Bring these things with you when you go. Try to break up while you're visiting their town, rather than while they are visiting yours. This will make it easier for you to leave. The troubles of everyday relationship life may fade into the background of a vacation, and you may find it more difficult to initiate the break-up. Once you return to your daily life, you may find that the same frustrations rise to the surface one again. If you do break up with someone while on vacation, you may find yourself trapped in close proximity with an upset ex-partner for the duration of your stay. Try not to initiate the break-up in a public place with a high concentration of people, such as a restaurant, a coffee shop, or a bar. This may make the situation more intense. Make sure that you can easily leave the space after you complete the break-up. Try not to leave any of your possessions in your soon-to-be-ex's home, where it may be awkward to retrieve them. Consider initiating the break-up in a neutral, low-density public space, like a city park. Get it over with. Say, "We need to talk. This relationship isn't working for me, and I want to break up." Lay out your reasons for ending the relationship. Be gentle and kind, but do not compromise. Speak honestly and speak from the heart. For example: "I can't handle the distance any more. It's eating me up and splitting me apart inside. You're a wonderful person, and I hope that you find someone who can give you what you need--but I can't be that person." For example: "I don't see us winding up in the same city within the near future, and I don't want to keep pouring time and energy into something that isn't going anywhere. I wanted to do this in person, but this is it. It's over." Do not make the break-up sound like a deal or a suggestion. Be sure of your resolve and be clear in your intentions. Try to keep your explanation short and simple. The longer you linger, and the more you say, the more complicated the break-up may become. Words can tangle. Try to avoid an argument. Don't accuse your partner of anything, and don't lay blame. Explain that the break-up is about you and your inability to stay emotionally invested in this relationship. Be patient and empathetic. Let your partner speak his or her side of the story, and listen. Stay for as long as it takes to help your now-ex along the path to closure. Be aware that he or she may not find peace immediately, depending on how emotionally invested he or she is in the relationship. When there is nothing more to say, or if you feel that the conversation has become circular: wish your ex-partner the best, and leave.
Summary: Consider breaking up with your partner face-to-face. Avoid saving the break-up for a vacation or a long trip. Avoid making a scene. Initiate the conversation. Be firm. Give your partner closure.
