Problem: Article: Think about things your friend likes. For example, if your friend loves daisies, try to find stationery with a border of daisies. Get a corresponding envelope as well. If you choose unlined stationery, you can lay a piece of lined paper underneath to help guide you as you write. Just write the date on which you write your letter in the top lefthand corner. This will help your friend remember the occasion on which he or she received your letter. Also, if your letter is delayed for some reason, your best friend will know when you wrote it. This is especially important if you're sending the letter far away. This is the standard format for any kind of letter. Begin your letter with "Dear Jane." Use the name of your best friend. Then, for your greeting, you can simply start with "Hello!" Or, if you want it to be slightly more personal, try "Hello best friend!" or "Hey BFF!" or use a nickname that only you call your best friend. Write as much or as little as you'd like. Even if you only write a paragraph or two, your friend will still be happy that you wrote them a letter. Don't be afraid to use more than one sheet of paper. In this part of your letter, include your funny anecdotes and ask how your friend is. Write them an update on your life. They're your best friend, and they want to know what's going on with you. For example, if you have a new crush, let them know. Give them a list of things they might want to check out, like songs or TV shows. You want to end your letter with something sweet. If you haven't seen them in a while, let them know you miss them. Say something like, "I love you! Write back soon!" End with "Your best friend," or "Love," and then write your signature. If you forget to write something in your letter, you can always go back and add a P.S. with the message you forgot. To make the letter even more personalized, consider adding little drawings to it. You can even draw on the envelope. Use colored pencils or markers in all your best friend's favorite colors. Draw a little picture of you and your friend, or add hearts and flowers. If you don't want to draw, you can also use ink stamps or stickers to decorate the letter. This will sweeten up your letter, and remind your best friend of you. Hold a bottle of perfume several inches from the letter, facing it directly. Spray a few times over the page, but don't soak the paper. A little bit will go a long way. Sniff the paper to make sure you can smell the perfume.
Summary: Choose your stationery Using pretty stationery can make your letter seem more special. Date your letter. Start with a greeting. Write the body of your letter. Write your closing lines. Decorate the letter. Add a spritz of your perfume.
