 Informal letter is to someone you know very well, so use ‘Dear’ in

salutation and end with ‘Best regards’, ‘Warm wishes’ and etc.
 Open an informal letter with a general, friendly paragraph.
 Identify the main purpose of the letter and always stay on topic.
 Avoid using abbreviations like ‘luv’ or ‘bcuz’. Also, don’t use
acronyms like ‘LOL’ or ‘OMG’ and never use emoticons.
