In the opening sentence, it's better to add a salutation such as 'Dear friends,' rather than just 'My friends,'. This sets a more personal tone.
coherence cohesion
Make sure to proofread your letter to avoid spelling errors, e.g., 'phtotos' should be 'photos' and 'recevied' should be 'received'.
task achievement
Your effort to share personal feelings and memories from the trip makes the letter more engaging and sincere.
coherence cohesion
The closing statement is warm and friendly, which is suitable for a letter to friends.

The Greeting

Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.

Always start an informal letter in the ways:

  • Dear + name
  • Hi / Hello + name

‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.

For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:

  • Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
  • Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
