should be started with
a sentence that piques the interest of the reader.

Sorry for not replying to you sooner but I was really busy. ● Thanks for writing back so quickly… ● Thank you very much for your letter. Sorry, I haven’t written to you so long.

The body of the informal letter The introduction
should flow smoothly into the body, where you will
talk about the main subject of your letter. “In your letter you ask(ed) me about...”, “It’s great that...” If you are going to be discussing more than one topic, you can say “To begin with, I need to tell you…” Keep the tone of your informal letter on the conversational level.
Thank you for your letter. Sorry, I haven’t written
for so long. I was busy with my studies. In your letter you ask me about my family. I have a mother, a father and a sister. We try to spend much time together . My mother is a doctor, she is very beautiful and kind. My father is a manager. He is intelligent. It’s great that you are going to buy a pet! Was it your idea? Are you planning to have a dog? What about a name for your pet? Sorry, I must finish. Write back soon. Best wishes, Sergey
