Sample Answer

Dear Sushil,

Related posts maybe you like:

I’m so happy to know that you have planned to travel to the United States of America. I’m excited at the thought of having you here. I strongly recommend that you come to Dallas and stay with me all through the six months.

Dallas is a telecom hub. As you hold a degree in Telecommunications, it will be effortless for you to find a job. I can assure you that the pay will be good and you can save a great deal. However, if you are determined to stay in a hotel, Sunsuites would be the cheapest option. You get excellent facilities for 90 dollars per month.

There are a lot of entertainment areas here. We can visit Highland Park and Fair Park. There are quite a lot of Indian people around, and you will not find it difficult to make friends. There are also several Chinese and Japanese hanging around, and they are friendly too. I think you spent a reasonable amount of time learning Japanese. So you can get along with them easily!

Awaiting your arrival, every moment.

Best Wishes,

Suhail.

Sample Answer

Hi Ritu,

I hope you are doing well. I know that you have joined Electrical Engineering at the prestigious ABC college. I have some news for you. Since you are an Engineering student, this will help you greatly in preparing for your exams. Yes, it is an interesting website called sanfoundry.

When I landed upon this website, I was taken aback. They have thousand multiple-choice questions for every subject in Engineering. It contains mathematical problems as well as theory questions. Also, you have answers for each question. You can attempt the question first and then click on the ‘View Answer’ button to know the answers.

It is an excellent website for an Engineering student like you. You can finish your study on a chapter and then give these questions a try. It will help you increase your confidence. You can also measure your exam preparedness and know where you stand. Please do visit this website and let me know how you like it. Waiting eagerly for your reply.

With love,

Informal Letter 3

Your friend has just moved to a new house. Write a letter to your friend and let him know about the gift that you prepared for him/her.

In your letter, you should:

Sample Answer

Dear Mia,

I’m so happy to hear that you have moved to a new house in Virginia. I’m writing this letter to tell you about the gift I got for you. I don’t think I can wait until I meet you. You know that I’m a jewellery designer by profession. So I handcrafted a pendant design completely by myself and exclusively for you.

It is an Amethyst pendant. I set it in gold to make it more beautiful. I’m sure this gift will bring you more luck because I decided it based on your sun sign. You were born in the mid of August, and hence you are a Leo. Amethysts are a calming force and will help you act based on your intuition, enabling you to make better decisions.

I have sent it through the ABC flight courier service. They have promised to make the delivery by next week. The shipment number is VX109US, and I’m tracking it minute by minute. Yes, I’m so excited about how glad you will be after opening the gift. When you wear it, you will look more pretty.

Do write to me about how you liked it. I wish you the best for all your future endeavors.

With lots of love,

Emma

 

Informal Letter 4

You are leaving your job and would like to invite your friend as your replacement. Write a letter to your friend.

In your letter, you should:

Sample Answer

Dear Ken,

It’s been a while since we met each other. I hope you are doing well.

You might be aware that I’m working as a Developer at ABC firm for quite some time. My daily activities involve gathering requirements from the clients, translating them into C and C++ code, and getting tested and fixing issues from the field after it has gone live. But, I was also on a keen lookout for opportunities in the DEF company, and this time, things worked out. I qualified in the interview and got an offer from the DEF company for a senior consultant position. There’s nothing wrong with my current post except that it is my dream to work for the DEF company.

I informed my manager, and he was equally thrilled about the offer. But he did request me for a replacement, and I could think of none other than you. You are an excellent candidate because you are adept at C and C++ and can translate requirements much faster. The boss is amiable, and the targets are manageable.

You could fit in here better than anywhere else. I’m waiting for your reply.

All the best,

Oliver

 

Informal Letter 5

You are planning for a vacation and want your friend to come with you. Write a letter to your friend.

In your letter, you should:

Sample Answer

Dear Sophia,

I hope this letter finds you in the pink of health. I’m writing to ask you to come along with me on a trip to some place which is nearby India. I have decided on a week’s trip to Myanmar.

I’m working my fingers to the bone on the new project. Life is getting mundane, and I need a change to recharge myself. I have decided on the cheap and best option, which is Myanmar. And who would want to go alone? So I want you with me on the trip.

There are many exciting places in Burma, such as “Sule Pagoda,” where we can meditate, take photographs of picturesque views on Bagan, sail in “Mergui,” and enjoy the “Kandawgyi Park.” I know you love trekking as much as I do. There is a place called Pindaya in Myanmar for trekking. We can also enjoy some Burmese Cuisine like Nangyi Thoke, Shan-style noodles and Mohinga.

I’m quite sure that you need a change too. Take time to think through this and reply so that I can book tickets.

With love,

Sheela

 

Informal Letter 6

You have borrowed something from your friend and you have accidentally damaged it. Write a letter to your friend to your friend to remind him/her of:

Sample Answer

Dear Charlotte,

Hope you are fine. I’m writing to let you know how miserable I feel about damaging your lavender jade necklace which I borrowed from you last week.

My sister-in-law threw a party last week to celebrate her promotion in the office. I had just returned from China and did not have much time to get ready for the party. I had a lavender gown but did not find any matching costume jewellery for it. So, I borrowed it from you to suit my dress and you readily gave it to me.

But something horrible happened at the party. My sister-in-law’s two-year-old daughter got attracted to the jade necklace and started playing with it. I did not take it seriously. But suddenly she pulled it so hard that all the jade necklace fell into pieces.

I know it is too much damage and I’m willing to pay for it. Kindly bear with me for breaking your lovely jade necklace.

With lots of love,

Ella

 

Informal Letter 7

Last month, you travelled to another city. You told a friend who lives in the city that you would meet him/her, but you did not. Write a letter to this friend.

In your letter

Sample Answer

Dear Mila,

Hope you are doing well. I’m sorry for not being able to meet you at the Hotel Clermont on Sunday afternoon. I can understand your disappointment, and I’m sorry for it.

I got on a flight from Paris last Saturday. But unfortunately, there was an Engine failure when the flight reached NewYork. It took half a day to rectify the fault. Then we boarded the flight, and I arrived late. It was an official trip, and I had to meet my clients first. So, I headed straight to the office.

The business meeting went on well, and I was able to win some contracts for my company. Now that I’ve completed my work, I’m ready to meet you. I will book the table this time and wait for you. Let me know when you can come.

Yours lovingly,

Lynda

 

Informal Letter 8

A foreign friend of your plans to visit your place and stay with you, but you do not have time on that date. Give your friend another alternate date to come.

In your letter, you should:

Sample Answer

Dear Aria,

Hope you’re doing well. I know you would have made great preparations to come and stay with me on August 20, 2020, but I regret to inform you that I will not be available on that date. I do understand that we made plans for this, six months ago and I’m deeply sorry for spoiling it.

I think you know of my neighbour who is an older woman in her eighties. She was living alone. Her daughter was in France. One night, she had developed convulsions and did not wake up the next day. She used to give me flowers from her garden daily. Since she did not bring flowers on the next day, I suspected something went wrong, and I was right. She lay unconscious on her floor. I informed the Police, opened the door and took her to the hospital where she was treated. Then, I told her daughter. She requested me to bring the older woman to France precisely on the same day that you planned to arrive.

But I’m planning to come back immediately after entrusting the old lady into her daughter’s hands. So, I will be available from August 25, 2020. Please let me know if you can make arrangements on the new date.

Sorry again!

With love,

Zoey

 

Informal Letter 9

Your friend is about to move into a new house. Write a letter to this friend.

In your letter:

Sample Answer

Dear Frankie,

How’re you doing? I’m damn sure you’re exhilarated to move to your new house. Also, you must be worried about shifting things. Please don’t fret over it. I’ll help you out. I’ll be there with you throughout the shifting process and ensure everything is in place, in your new home.

As you’re moving on a weekend, I don’t have to take a day off from work. Also, I did a bit of research on the internet to find some tips on moving things. I got to know that ABC packers are the cheap and best option. All you have to do is to register yourself on the website, provide your current address and shipping address. They will make arrangements for people to come to your house and pack everything. They will also take care of transportation. So we have to sit and watch if everything goes right.

Also, tell me about your new house. Does it have a modular kitchen? Being a culinary expert, I’m sure you must have experimented with your kitchen construction. I’m planning to give you firstgrade cast-iron vessels, as my token of love.

Do write to me when you’re planning to move. Also, inform me if there are any changes to the plan.

With love,

Alfie

 

Informal Letter 10

Write a letter to this friend.

In your letter

Sample Answer

Dear Natalie,

How are you doing? I have some news for you. Yes, I’m getting married to Shyam in December. I’ll send the invite soon. I’m writing to give you a heads up. He is an Electrical Engineer at ABC Electric in the US. The marriage is going to be in a wedding hall in Bangalore, India.

I’m writing to you to help me with my marriage preparations. There will be seven auspicious events in our weddings called “Muhurthams”. So, I need to select seven silk sarees. Since you’ve got a great sense of style, I want your help in choosing them. Also, we need to buy trendy gold and diamond jewellery. My mom has got tons of old-fashioned ones which we need to exchange. I also need your help in receiving our office colleagues and helping me with the decoration.

I want you to arrive two days in advance and be with me throughout the wedding. I can assure you that it will be very entertaining. You will enjoy your stay.

Awaiting your response.

With tons of love,

Sita
