📩 Writing an Informal Email to a Friend
When I first arrived in Australia, email was how I kept in touch with home. Here’s how to write a great informal email in English.
📖 Informal Email Structure
- Greeting: Hi [Name], / Hey [Name]!
- Opening: How are you? / Hope you’re well! / How’s it going?
- Main message: your news, question, or reason for writing
- Closing: Let me know what you think! / Can’t wait to hear from you!
- Sign-off: Take care, / Best, / Love, / See you soon!
📝 Example — My First Email Home from Sydney
Hey Mum,
Hope everyone is well back home! I arrived safely in Sydney three days ago and I’m starting to get my bearings.
The city is huge and a bit overwhelming, but the people are friendly. I found a room in Strathfield — it’s small but fine for now.
Miss you all! Write back when you can.
Take care,
Sourov
