    Risa Sharmanti
    Jalan Merak 9, Bandung
    Jawa Barat

    Dear Risa,

    I’d like to thank you for the letter inviting me to see the play next week. I believe the play
    will be very interesting because some talented actors and actresses will play in it. However, I
    haven’t made up my mind about that. Now, I’m very busy preparing for my semester test. I
    hope you will understand. I’ll be happy if you tell me about the play later.
    As soon as the test is done, I will visit you. Send my best regards to your parents.

    Your sincerely,

    Yolanda  

    efinition:

    A type of letter (or informal composition) that usually concerns personal matters and it is sent
    from one individual to another such as family members, relatives and friends, and love
    letters. People write and send personal letters for only a small number of people to read —
    usually one or two. Writers can send personal letters for lots of different reasons: short
    memos for business strategies, love letters between long-distance sweethearts or even pen pal
    messages to foreign exchange students. Senders usually handwrite personal letters, which
    emphasizes the personal nature of the note.

    regards,’ ‘Love,’

    To : Erna Setyoningrum
    Jl. Pahlawan No. 123
    Semarang

    Dear Erna,
    How’s life? I know you must be very busy these days since it’s the beginning of the  term. I
    hope you are not too tired and still have time for yourself. I found that the school here is exciting
    too. I have made a lot of friends, I’ll tell you about them later.
    I have a new hobby now. Planting! You won’t believe it, I grow so many kinds of fruit here
    such as guava, mango, orange, and dragon fruit. I usually buy the seed at a nearby shop. I’m crazy
    about planting now. I guess because it’s so easy to get the seeds or young plants, and the soil
    here seems so nice to plant. Everything grows easily here. I own a small farm behind my house. I
    love my farm. It’s about two hundred square meters. My little brother helps me at the farm. We
    make a great team.
    Well, I promise to send you some fruits when they are ripe someday and let me you know
    how they taste.

    Your friend,

    Almusto
