Letter prompts for friends


30 letter prompts for your best friend

Let me be really clear:

I’m definitely not the greatest friend.

The thing is…. most of my best friends live states away. and I’m REALLY BAD at any form of communication that isn’t face-to-face. I’m really really terrible at it.

and there’s one person in my life that is constantly throwing the ball in my court, even when it sometimes just kind of bounces off of me and rolls back to her side. She is hands down one of the most important, influential people in my life.

In fact, whenever I listen to that Dave Barnes song, “God Gave Me You,” her face is the one I think of when I hear the line “you’ll always be love’s great martyr, and I’ll be the flattered fool. and I need you.”

Her name is Claire.

When I first met her, she was a tiny little gal. Sassy and silly and sometimes scary, but so cute and so fun. and now she’s gone from being this little tiny fireball to this beautiful grown up fireball.

Look:

So a few months ago, Claire was driving through town and we were able to catch up briefly. Time with her is always too short, because she is wise beyond her years and pee-your-pants hilarious and such a joy to be around. It was right before I took a leap of faith and told Ryan I liked him, and Claire was there to get caught up on the whole thing – which almost had me at my breaking point.

Shortly after she returned to school, she sent me one of the most heart-filled, beautiful collection of words in the form of a letter. Claire’s a word person. Like she will out of the blue send me a text message that sometimes makes me fall to the ground because it is full of love and affirmation. So then all the Ryan stuff happened and I kind of texted her about it, but I refused to even begin to overshare any part of it because I wanted to tell Claire. In a letter. With words I have to carefully choose because my hand would get too tired if I constantly started re-writing the letter because of a poor choice of words, you know?

I was scrolling through the Blogging for Books site, looking at the different books that were available to review and I saw this book, The World Needs More Love Letters All-in-One Stationery and Envelopes

. Let me tell you, I was on that like stink on poo. As I anxiously checked the mail every day, I kept thinking “Claire.” Then when I opened the envelope I thought “Claire.” One of my favorite parts of the package is the prompts of love letters listed inside of the covers.


Some of the prompts were very couple-related, so I decided to come up with a list of prompts to help you send your best friends a little note telling them you care. The stationary in this book is perfect for this kind of thing. You tear out a page and it has everything you need. One side is lined for the letter, and the other side has a line for the address. You seal, stamp and send. There’s actually no excuse for me to not write to Claire, ESPECIALLY now that I’ve compiled this list.

  1. Your very first memory of them
  2. A list of your inside jokes
  3. Your most favorite thing about them
  4. Something that always reminds you of them
  5. An acrostic poem using their name
  6.  Write out your favorite memory
  7. Something about them that makes you proud
  8. Try to come up with a list of places you’ve been together
  9. Record a few ways that you’re radically different
  10. Write out a playlist for them. Bonus points if you send an iTunes gift card for them to purchase the songs with.
  11. Send them a collection of funny jokes
  12. Dream big for them: tell them where you see them being in 20 years.
  13. Send them a list of your favorite Bible verse references. Just the references. Let them look them up.
  14. Create a Word Search with words that are important to you
  15. Send them words of bravery in an area of their life that they are fearful.
  16. Make a portrait of them.
  17. Share with them ways they have changed your life.
  18. Write a short story with them as the main character. It can be goofy or symbolic.
  19. Make a list of things you’ve learned from your best friend.
  20. Smudge the parts of your meal on the paper and send it to them so it’s like they ate with you. Write about the meal on the paper.
  21. Find a picture of the two of you and send it without any explanation.
  22. Compile a list of words that describe your best friend.
  23. Thank them again for things you’ve already thanked them for.
  24. Make up a TV show featuring the two of you. What would the premise be?
  25. Write them a poem
  26. Look for their name in newspapers/magazines and make a collage of their name.
  27. Identify their strengths and encourage their weaknesses.
  28. Share with them a deep dark secret that they don’t even know about.
  29. Gratitude is the ultimate spirit lifter. Write down thirty things you are thankful for today and share it with your best friend*
  30. Turn them into items on a restaurant menu and write clever descriptions. Bonus points for pictures.

Claire is one of the loudest love letters God has ever sent to me, and I am so grateful for her grace with my communication slacking, her commitment to affirming her friends, and the joy she brings to my life.

The world definitely needs more love letters. More love letters like Claire.

I received this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for this review.

    Communication is the most important part of the interaction of people with each other, which originated many centuries ago. It did not become the way we use it now, at first it was gestures and some sounds, but with the development of civilization, the ability of people to speak also developed. By historical standards, a person has learned to interact with speech recently, and this distinguishes him from all other creatures on the planet, and he learned to do this in a huge variety of languages, the priority of which is English, it is not for nothing that it is considered a "world" language.

    No other species is capable of such high-quality communication. It is difficult to imagine the modern world without it. How would it look? Everyone would begin to communicate with gestures, because it was impossible to say or write anything, as a result, civilization would roll back several centuries. Speech and written communication are something we are very used to, but we should not forget how huge a role they play in every language. English is no exception, and for its full study it is impossible to do without knowledge in the field of informal communication, which can be used to, for example, write a letter to a friend.

    An informal letter to a friend is a text written in the “plain” language we use in our daily lives. This is how we communicate with loved ones, friends and acquaintances. Unlike formal writing, you can use slang words here, not pay much attention to structure, and, in general, write in a “relaxed” way, without formality. After all, your friend will be reading this, not your boss.

    Such letters are usually written to people if they know them well. The goals can be completely different - from discussing the news to discussions on personal issues and congratulations on the holiday, but the fact that informal vocabulary is used here remains unchanged.

    The structure of a letter to a friend

    To form a more correct idea of ​​writing such a letter, you should consider it structurally. It, like all other letters, contains mandatory parts. How to start a letter? (John Marston)

  • House number, street name, apartment number (314 Robinson LN, APT A2)
  • City name (if USA, state must be specified) (Wilmington, Delaware)
  • Postcode (DE 19805)
  • Recipient country (US)
  • It should be mentioned that Americans may have different abbreviations in their letters, for example, STR - street, LN - lane, RD - road, APT - apartment. The letters in alphabetical order indicate the floors, in our case the letter A is indicated, which means the first floor, followed by the number 2, which means the second apartment.

    Be sure to remember that the sender's address is located in the upper left corner, the recipient's address is in the lower right.

    For the UK, the address is formed in a similar way:

    • First and last name of the recipient (Bill Wilson)
    • House number and street name, first house number, then street number, then the word "street" itself (123, Kensington Palace Gardens street)
    • Name of the district, if known (No district here)
    • City name (London)
    • Index (W8 4PU)

    The postal address must be printed in capital letters, as the Royal Mail Service officially requires it.

    If you need to write a letter in English for a recipient located in Russia, then transliteration comes to the rescue. It works like this:

    • Petr Borisov
    • St. Pushkina, 16, apt. 94
    • Gelendzhik, Krasnodarskiy kray
    • Russia
    • 353460

    Now that the address has been successfully and correctly entered, let's turn our attention to how to start the letter. Since it is unofficial, the appeals "Mr" and "Mrs" (Mr. and Miss) disappear immediately. You should start with a simple "Hi" or "Hello", followed by the name of the person (For example, Hi Johnny, hello Peter). You can also use "Dear" (Dear Patrick, dear Bob). As a rule, a comma is placed after the name, and the beginning of the text is transferred to a new line. Perhaps everyone has seen it more than once in foreign films. However, after the thought is finished, you should repeat this construction at the end and indent the line.

    What to write in a letter

    After your letter has been started, you should think about how to compose it correctly. The structure can be very diverse and depends on what information needs to be conveyed in it, but three elements will remain unchanged:

    • introduction,
    • main part,
    • conclusion.

    Various clauses and subclauses may be present within these elements.

    As for the information inside the letter, it will usually contain questions about the friend's personal life, about what's new with him. If your friend has moved, then you can ask how he is in a new place, if he bought a car, ask a couple of questions about it.

    You should also touch on the relationship with the recipient of the letter - apologize for not writing for a long time or write how you missed you and want to see you. Do not forget to share something about yourself, tell us about the latest news, plans, what made you happy or upset lately, because this is a letter, and you should try to fit as much information as possible here.

    If in a previous letter a friend wrote that he was planning to do something, it would be a good idea to ask if he succeeded or not. In general, it will be good to ask about some things or people that matter to the interlocutor. For example, the state of health of parents, success in school or at work, any experiences, and so on.

    It seems that no letter to a friend can do without memories. If you write about some joint moments from childhood or adolescence, then this will most likely cause a smile from your interlocutor.

    Useful phrases for informal writing

    In addition to the structure, the narration itself is of no small importance, the design of the letter is quite important. In order to do this most correctly, you can use useful words, phrases and constructions. This includes both questions and a variety of eyeliners. They will help you succinctly convey your thoughts and build a coherent narrative, set the stage for a question, or simply set the mood. The following will be successful:

    • It was cool to hear from you again. “It was great to hear from you again.
    • How are you, bro? - How are you, brother?
    • Hope you are well. - I hope you all are well.
    • What is up, buddy? — How are you, buddy?
    • I was so surprised to hear that. — I was surprised to hear it.
    • How is your family? - How is your family?
    • It was a long time since I have heard from you. “It has been a long time since I last heard from you.
    • I am sorry I haven't been in touch for such a long time. “I'm sorry I haven't been in touch for so long.
    • Glad to hear that ... - Glad to hear that ...
    • Sorry to hear about… - I'm sorry to hear that…
    • I thought you might be interested to hear about…
    • Hey, did I tell you about…? “Hey, did I tell you about…?”
    • This is just to let you know that…
    • I am sorry that I... but I was busy with...
    • Thank you very much for your invitation. I'd love to come. - Thank you very much for your invitation. I will gladly come.
    • I wonder if you could help me. “I think you could help me.
    • I'd be very grateful if you could ... - I would be very grateful if you could ...
    • Why don't you…? - Why do not you…?
    • How about…? - What about…?
    • Maybe you could…? “Maybe you could…?”
    • If you like, we can . .. - If you want, we can ...
    • I wish you good luck with ... - I wish you good luck with ...
    • Don't worry, I'm sure you'll do well. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine.
    • I really appreciate your advice. “I really appreciate your advice.
    • I'm writing to ask for your help. I am writing to ask for your help.

    How to end a letter

    Now that we have figured out what phrases can help in compiling the main idea of ​​​​a letter, which is its main content, it makes sense to look at how and with what help you can correctly finish your message.

    If we talk about general provisions, then you should leave the recipient some kind of warm wishes, good luck in the undertaking that he is planning, or just a good mood. If you intend to write another letter after some time, then be sure to notify your friend so that he knows when to expect it, at least approximately. If you have mutual acquaintances whom he can see, you can ask him to say hello to them.

    In addition, there are also auxiliary constructions for the end of a letter:

    • Unfortunately, I have to go. “Unfortunately, I have to go.
    • Anyway, I must go and get on with my work! “Anyway, I have to go and do my work.
    • Say hello to...
    • Anyway, don't forget to let me know the date of the party. “Anyway, don’t forget to let me know the date of the party.”
    • Hope to hear from you soon. Hope to hear from you soon.
    • See you soon. - See you soon.
    • Look forward to see you again. “Looking forward to meeting you.
    • We must try and meet up soon. We should try to see each other soon.

    Do not forget about the classic wish before the very end of the text:

    • Lots of love - With great love.
    • Best wishes - With best wishes.
    • Take care - Take care of yourself.
    • All the best - All the best.
    • Stay safe - Be careful.

I cannot believe it! Three years have passed since you two met last time. I would be very happy if you visit us for 4-5 days, because we all miss you. Abigail is so nice as a housewife, you cannot even imagine this! And my grandpa. Oh, bro, my grandpa is doing better… I guess. He is always screaming something like "GIVE ME THIS SPOON".

    Hi pal. It was cool to hear from you again. Just want to tell you about this crazy weekend in Vegas. There are so many good cars there! Bugatti, Lambo, Rollses. This is crazy! We were in a casino by the way. I just blew up half of my money, which is 5000 bucks. It was not pleasant but we have what we have, you know. I am sorry I have not been in touch for such a long time, I was busy with these infinite meetings and press conferences. Oh, Lord, bro. It's good in Vegas! Always has been! I wish you and I were here right now. I am sorry about your illness. Get well as soon as possible. We got work to do! Lots of love, Leviticus Largo.

    Hi buddy. It was great to hear from you again. I just want to tell you about this crazy vacation in Vegas! There are so many good cars here! Bugatti, Lambo, Rolls. Stunned! By the way, we were at the casino. I lost half of my money, that is 5000 bucks. It was unpleasant, but you know what we have, we have. Sorry for being out of touch for so long, been busy with endless meetings and press conferences. Oh my god bro. Vegas is great! Always has been! I wish we were here right now! I am very sorry about your illness. Get well as quickly as possible. We have a job! With much love, Leviticus Largo.

    Informal travel letter

    Hello honey. This is Aurora. I am writing to tell you about my trip to Mount Everest. There are many camps on the way to the top and many interesting places. There are many good and interesting people from all over the world. They all want to make it to the top. So do I, but I think that they want to do it at any cost. I am not like them. If the weather is awful or something like that I would rather stop than die here. I still want to be with you and kids. I wanna live a great life with you. I will try to be as safe as possible here. Write back as soon as you have this letter. Hope you and kids are doing OK. Say hello to them from their mama. I miss them. I miss you. I love you. Take Care, Davey.

    6 scary letters to send to friends as a practical joke

    April is coming and you know what that means, don't you? April Fool's Day will be celebrated around the world on April 1st. For you, this means it's time to prepare pranks for your friends!

    If you have friends who live too far away to literally play a prank on them, you can send them an email. Here is a list of scary emails to send to friends.

    Do you know someone who is easily frightened? Then you don't have to come up with something smart, you can just send them a scary story just before bed. Perhaps spice it up by adding some photos or submitting anonymously. Scary For Kids has a neat collection of scary stories.

    Dead Fake is a service that allows you to send anonymous emails. This in itself is not a joke. Connected with this site is that you can have your email received from whoever you choose. Should I say more?

    You can pretend to be your friend's boss or a government official, and I'm sure you can come up with content that will scare your friend. After all, you know them best!

    3. Startle Sensor

    Do you have a friend who is very proud of his "sight"? Send them this indicator " Find Demon " to show how good their eyesight is. This will show them how above average their perceptual skills are.

    A similar page, more suited to younger audiences, is Where's Waldo.

    4. Online Hearing Test

    For this to work, you need to paste the code into a website or one of your social media profiles and then send a link to a friend. Unfortunately, the source website gives quite a few clues that this is a fake test. However, if you manage to set it up somewhere, it's one of the scariest tests out there - emailing a friend. Luckily, the test embed code is included.

    Similar test - Color vision deficiency.

    5. Driver's license search

    This is a joke on the site. The site states that the National Vehicle Licensing Organization is currently required by law to provide public access to all U.S. driver's licenses online. It's the perfect prank to prank someone who refused to show you their passport or driver's license claiming that their photo was so ugly. Now you can tell them how shocked you were at how ugly their photo was.

    If you want to scare someone in the UK, use this original video generator. Be sure to enter your victim's full name, their real age, their real occupation, and their victim's real description on the form.

    Your friend will receive a link to the icetruck. tv video page. This is a video of a press conference that talks about a serial murder with clues to potential future victims. The joke is revealed at the end of the video, so there is nothing to worry about.

    The video preview didn't work for me, the link that was emailed however worked perfectly.
