December 7, 2011 Dear Max, I just wanted to take a moment to
write to you to express my thanks for the extra tutoring help you
gave me this fall as I struggled in my Math course. People like you
make our world a better place simply because you take the extra
time to help others overcome fears and learn important skills. I
think I can safely say, you are going to make a great math teacher
one day! You stand head and shoulders above others in the field of
math and I so appreciate the information, time and patience you
provided to me. So, once again, thank you so much for everything,
and especially for encouraging me! Best wishes, Rita Person

which will help your friend remember when it was received. Start
with a proper greeting. The opening should begin at the left side
of the page, not the middle or up against the right side of the
sheet. The most common opening is "Dear" followed by the person's
first name and a comma. You also can write "Hello, or "Hey, or Hi.
Write an opening paragraph. You can begin with "How are you?",
"What's up?" or "How's it going? Construct the body of the letter.
Include a closing such as "Love always","Cheers", "Sincerely", See
you soon", or Take care. Sign your name underneath and print your
name under the signature.
Slide 16
Besides the date you should write your address and the address
of the receiver on the right. In greeting use Mr., Miss, Mrs.,
Madam, Dr., Sir before the receiver's last name and a colon instead
of a comma, (e.g. "Dear Mr. Johnson:). Write an opening paragraph.
Be direct about why you are writing the letter. Construct the body
of the letter. Use the closing paragraph to indicate the type of
response you are seeking. The closing can be on the left or the
right side of the page. stick with "Regards, Sincerely yours or
"Respectfully," and sign your name underneath. Then print your name
under the signature.
