Subject: requesting a friend to resume friendship.

Dear _ _ _ _ _ _ _,

I know that you are a bit angry on me regarding the misunderstanding that has been created between us. So I just thought of writing this letter to you in order to clear out the misunderstandings that have made us temporarily apart from each other.

I was a bit afraid to talk to you on face, so made an attempt to write a letter. I haven’t spoken anything ill about you to Malvika. In fact you are the one who works hard on projects assigned, do you think I will say anything bad about you and that too with Malvika. If that was the case I would have been frank enough about this and would have directly approached you if there were any problems.

I hope that all the misunderstanding is cleared. If you still fee that you are not convinced, then arrange for a small meet at the café. Please do give me a call after reading his letter.

Yours affectionately,

XYZ.

SUBJECT: advising best friend to keep himself/ herself away from bad company

Dear _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ,

Of late reports have reached me that you are moving around in a circle of companions with dubious reputation. As your true friend I consider it my duty to warn in time, to detach yourself from them.

You must know that prosperity gains friends, adversity tries them. So, all those who are flocking to you are fair-weather friends who will desert you as rats desert a sinking ship. Though god forbid that you fall into any trouble, it is better to stick to only a few whom you think are your true and genuine friends.

It may seem a very enjoyable proposition to go around with a band of friends eating, drinking and partying but life is a serious affair entailing responsibilities. At this juncture of life, when you are a student, a strong foundation needs to be laid out for a bright career. Therefore concentrate on academics. In addition to this devote time in gymnasium and stadium to rejuvenate yourself. Your habit of contributing articles to magazines is an excellent past-time, which you will consider my advice in earnest and not take offence to them. Convey my regards to uncle and aunt.

Yours lovingly,

XYZ.

Subject : wishing good luck to a friend

Dear _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _,

Looking at your dedication and hard work towards your studies, I hope this letter may prove as an inspiration to you. I know you have got great brain and good grasping power. But I would advise you that give yourself some rest at least for half an hour so that your mind gets refreshed. According to me, studying 5-6 hrs at a stretch is not good for your health because once you feel sick, it will affect on your studies.

So I would advise you to flash cold water on your eyes to keep them at ease. I know that you are doing your Chartered Accountant (C.A.) and I also know that you got to study at least 12-13 hrs a day but at intervals. So this is to wish you good luck for your exams. If I am nit wrong your exams are starting from next month. So do not worry for your exams.

I am sure that you will come out with flying colors. My best wishes are with you. Do well in your exams.

Convey my regards to uncle and aunt.

Yours lovingly,

XYZ.

Subject: Best Friends Forever

Dear ___________

FRIENDSHIP – The best relationship in the world. One can live isolated without family, parents, children but never without a FRIEND. You are my strength and weakness too. No matter how far we are but I have never seen a day without remembering you or cherishing the golden memories spent together for so many years back here in Mumbai. Hope you are enjoying your studies, work, and life there in London.

Remembering the day way back when you were all set to leave for your further studies to London, still brings tears in my eyes. You have supported me in all ways, be it college colleagues cold war, projects, submission, presentation, College Industrial Visit or my first love.  I would like to make a little confession to you. When you were leaving to catch your flight to London I didn’t realize that you are actually leaving me and all our friends but when I was traveling back to home through Powai; I remembered the POWAI PLAZA where we friends had been to make our 100 marks BMS project and we all stayed there till 12’ o clock and the same day mom prepared MAGGI NOODLES for dinner, I broke into tears.

I realized that my BEST FRIEND is not here to share the MAGGI which we both love like anything. Mom made me realized that you guys are best friends besides the fact that you both have chosen different career, field in life and it’s only a phase of your life to be apart from each other and realize the worth of BEST FRIENDS.

Missing you always.

Yours lovingly,

XYZ.

Subject: The time spent with you is always memorable

Dear _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _,

Why friendship is considered one of the sacred and best relationships in the world? The answer is with you only my friend because, God sent you on earth for me. Who would have known that the two of us would become best friends forever only after meeting for the first time?

Sometimes I wonder why do we share all the stuffs and share all the talks only with our friends and not with parents or relatives. Reason, no one would be able to find it out. And this is the only relationship where you trust someone more than yourself. I enjoy sharing all my stuffs with you as I trust you the most. I glad we could spend the whole day together at your place (name).

Your home situated on the outskirts of the city (name), is purely a calm and serene place. Takes me back in time where the city was not that developed. Aunty always welcomes us with luscious meal and snacks. Imagine after college when we would get busy with office and further studies and not get a chance to meet each other for months…!!! That sounds terrible to me. I thoroughly enjoyed playing carom, badminton, snooker, table tennis in your club house. And the temple nearby is so peaceful.

I enjoy your company and spending time with you, my best and close friend. You understand me very easily and sometimes I don’t even have to speak to express my feelings. You judge me by my expressions or are you a mind reader? Anyways I really enjoyed the day a lot and we will plan to meet at your place very soon.

Yours lovingly,

Friends are the most precious gift that we chose for ourselves. A relation between friends is beyond words still when friends are apart a letter can give more warmth to the relation.

Here is a sample friendship letter:

From:

Benton Moody

#182, Lexington Avenue,

Williamsburg,

New York

To:

Cale Darren

200, Amsterdam Avenue,

Amsterdam,

New York

24^th June, 2010

Dear Cale,

I hope my letter finds you in good health. It is being so long since we have met. Yesterday I met a friend of our college and while talking with him I recalled all the great moments of our college time.

Today we are not together because of our responsibility but still the memories of our friendship are still fresh like the newly blossomed roses. The time we shared together, the fun we had in college, everything brings thrill to me whenever the memories of our old days surrounds me.

How a friend becomes a part of life? I have learned this when you came into my life. Not only the college but after that every step of my long journey made me realize that it is not hard but impossible to get a friend like you. I want to thank you for being my friend and hope to meet you soon.

Take care,

Miss you,

Your buddy,

Benton

Dear Name,

In today’s fast world it’s difficult to find a true friend like you. I sometimes think I am very lucky to get you as without you life would have been very boring .I still remember the first day of school when we were young, you called me and gave a seat besides you. It’s now almost 15 years and our relationship have grown in past years. I would like to thank you for being there for me for the ups and downs of my life.

Last year when my father passed away you were a support to me and my family. I don’t know what I would have done without you then. You were more helpful than my relative’s .I can never forget how you stayed back in the hospital late night just to support me and my mother.

I cherish every moment of life we spent together. Though you are away from me I still feel that you are close to me. How are your studies going? Last time when you wrote you seemed little worried about the portions. I know you will easily pass your engineering also with flying colors.

When are you next holidays? I am eagerly waiting to meet you and spend some good time together.

I would like to thank you for being my friend and being there for me.

With best wishes,

Truly yours,

Your Name

Friends are as important to us as our family. In fact sometimes friends become closer than some family members. That is why Brandi Snyder has said, “To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world”. In fact friends always accept you the way you are and not for what you are. It is a very strong bond between two or more people and ends up in inseparable relationships.

A Friendship Letter is the one that is either written to make a new friend or to write to an existing one. Since it is always an informal letter, it should always be hand written to give it that personal touch. The tone of the letter should be warm and caring. Adjectives that indicate love, care, happiness and warmth should be used in Friendship Letters. The letter need not have the full name and address of the recipient as it will be written using the friend’s first name only. The letter should reflect life and enthusiasmwhile it is being written so that the “feel good factor” comes into play.

DOS AND DON’T’S OF FRIENDSHIP LETTER

• A Friendship Letter can either be written to a new friend or an existing one
• It should be addressed directly to the person to whom it is being written
• Since it is purely an informal letter one can play about with fonts and colors in the letter
• A hand written Friendship Letter is always a better option for that personal touch
• The tone of the letter should show love and care
• Careful use of adjectives such as reassuring, loyal, trustworthy should be used in a Friendship Letter
• A Friendship Letter may just be written to kind of talk to a friend through the letter and to check if s/he is doing fine or to share a few happenings in life

SAMPLE FRIENDSHIP LETTER

___________ (Date)

Dear ____________ (first name of recipient)

I hope this letter finds all of you in the best of health and spirits. All of us are also doing fine here. It has been a very long time since we met or wrote to each other. So I thought of penning down a few lines to check things with you.

We just got back from our vacation to Thailand and had a great time. We went to Phuket and Bangkok. Amazing must see places. If you happen to ever plan a holiday to that side of the world do let me know and I shall give you tips on sight seeing, shopping, etc.

I want to share something that is disturbing me these days.Mom has not been keeping good health and I am really worried for her. Sometimes I see bad dreams about mom and they wake me up in the middle of the night. I am sure you know what bad dreams I am talking about. Please don’t share this with anybody and I know I can trust you on this.

Anyways you say what is up with you and how is work? I can see that it is keeping you really busy, as I haven’t heard from you at all.

Give my love to your mom and dad and loads of love to you too.

Stay in touch and do write!

Take care

Love
