Dear Nabs,

I just got back from my summer vacation. We stayed for three weeks in
Iloilo where we visited some relatives. We also spent two nights in a resort in
Boracay. The island is really a world –class destination. My cousin and I had a
wonderful time.

I’ll see you soon.

Your friend,

Belle
  After the reading of the text, the teacher will ask the following questions:
1. What kind of letter did Belle wrote?
2. Where did the letter come from?
3. To whom was the letter sent?
4. What was the message of the letter?
5. Why do people send letters?

 Then the teacher will let the students talk about the recent letter or e-mail
message that they have received from a friend or someone close to them.

B. Building – Up
Firm-Up
 The teacher will then have discussion using the example that was given in
the exploration part.

Cue: The letter that you have read a while ago is a friendly letter it is
a kind of letter that you write to someone you know, especially a
friend or relative, with whom you would like to share the latest
information about yourself. It should be casual;, interesting, and easy
to read. It should be written as if you are talking or having a
conversation with the addressee, the one to whom you are sending
the letter.

 The teacher will then introduce the five main parts of a friendly letter with
the use of the example letter given.
The heading contains the complete address of the sender and the
date when the letter is written. The heading is written at the top right
corner of the paper. The first two lines contain the sender’s address
and the third line, the date.

What do you call the number ‘3004’?

Why do you think the sender wrote her address and the date
she wrote the letter?

The salutation or greeting begins the letter. It is the sender’s way of

saying hello.

“Dear Nabs” is the salutation in the sample letter.

Are there other ways to write the greeting?

 Does it always start with the word dear?

The body of the letter contains the sender’s message. The message
may take the form of a friendly conversation, an invitation, a request
for information, an expression of gratitude or appreciation or a
combination of those forms. The first line of each paragraph is
indented.

Would Belles’s story then be interesting to Nabs once she

reads about it?
Was Belle’s writing readable?
How does Belle talk to Nabs in her letter?
Are they really friends with the way she talks to her?

The complimentary close or the closing is the sender’s way of

saying good-bye or of showing his or her regard to the receiver. It is
written at the bottom right corner and is aligned with the heading.
Now, look at the complimentary close in Belle’s letter to
Nabs. How does she regard Joan?
If you were Belle, how would you say goodbye to her?

The last part is the signature of the sender. It is written right below
the closing.
In Belles’s letter to Nabs, Belle simply signed her name. If
you were to sign your name in your letter to a friend, what
name would you use?
Does the name mean something to you or to your friend?

 Different Writing Styles:

A letter of invitation and a thank-you note are examples of social
notes. Letters of invitation include specific information, such as what the
invitation is about and where it will be held. Thank –you notes often
express gratitude to someone for a gift or letter he or she has given. A
thank-you note for someone’s hospitality or kindness is called a bread-and-
butter note.

Examples:
A business letter is a formal letter written to request for information,
order a product, or complain about a product. The message should be
clear, straight to the point, brief, and courteous.
The basic business letter style contains the following features:
1. An inside address in written above the salutation. It contains
the complete name and address of the person or the company
to whom the letter is written. The position of the person is
also mentioned.
2. The salutation is formal. The name is followed by a colon. If
you do not know the exact name of a person, you may use
“Dear Sir/ Madam” or “To whom it may concern”.
3. The message in the body contains facts only. The writing is
clear, straight to the point, brief and courteous.
4. The complimentary close is formal. You may also use “Yours
truly,” or “Sincerely”.
5. The signature is affixed above the full name of the sender,
which is typed above the sender’s position.
6. The entire letter is in block style. All its parts are aligned to
the left margin.
  More examples will be shown by the teacher to the students.
