The first part of a friendly letter is
called the heading. The heading
includes the writer’s address and the

Dear Phil,

The second part of the friendly letter is
the greeting. We write it under the
heading at the left side. It begins with a
capital letter and ends with a comma.
What do you want to say to the person
you are writing to? We put what we
want to say in the body of the letter.
The body of the letter is in paragraph
form.
How is your summer holiday? Not
too hot I hope. Are you going to visit
your grandparents this summer ? Are
you flying to Toronto? People say
Toronto is a beautiful city.
