An informal email to a

friend

Hi Linda,

How's it going?

Sorry I haven't been in touch for such a long time but I've had exams so I've been studying every free minute. Anyway, I'd love to hear all your news and I'm hoping we can get together soon to catch up. We just moved to a bigger flat so maybe you can come and visit one weekend?

How's the new job?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Helga,

I've been meaning to write to you for ages now so don't worry! How did your exams go? When will you know your results? I'm sure you did brilliantly as always! As for me, I'll have been in the new job three months by the end of next week so I'm feeling

more settled in. At first I felt like I had no idea what I was doing but now I realise it's normal to

feel like that. There was a lot to learn - there still is actually - and I soon had to get used to the idea that I can't know everything. I used to work late a lot and at weekends but I'm slowly getting into a normal routine. Which means I'd love to come and visit! We really need a good catch up! I can't believe we haven't seen each other since Carl's wedding. How does next month sound?

Anyway, I'd better get back to work.

Congratulations on the new flat! Can't wait to see you! Love, Linda Tips

You can start an informal email with Hi ...

Make sure you answer any questions that were asked. Use informal vocabulary like phrasal verbs (e.g. to get together, to catch up) to create a friendly tone. Before you sign off, close the email with a phrase like Looking forward to seeing you!

Or Good luck with your exams!

End with Love, (for close friends and family) or Take care, before signing your name on the next line.
