Dear Raina,
(HOW TO WRITE THE INTRODUCTION OF A LETTER)
I want to share with you a terrible incident that I experienced a few days ago. I was caught in a movie hall by a relative of mine who instantly informed my parents.
HOW TO WRITE THE BODY OF A LETTER
On our way to school, there is a cinema hall. We three friends go to school together. Last Friday on our way to school, as usual, we came near the cinema hall. The movie which was going on was about our favorite actor. We could not pass by the hall. It seemed our legs got frozen at the spot and we were unable to move. We decided to check if the tickets for the morning show were available or not. And to our utter delight, the tickets were available. The showtime was such that we could reach home at the usual time only. So after buying three tickets from the counter we somehow managed to hide so that we are not spotted by any teacher or student at the cinema hall.
PATTERN OF A LETTER
As soon as the hall opened for us to enter we did not delay. In fact, we were feeling very nervous since it was the first time we played a truant from school. We even felt that we had done a wrong. We should not have come to watch a movie bunking our school. But it was too late then. The school gates were already closed and we were left with no other option. Anyway, we sat in our respective places and waited for the movie to start. The movie was so engrossing and we were enjoying it so much that within moments we forgot all our worries. In this way, half of the movie got over and it was the time of interval.
INFORMAL WRITING
Till the intermission everything was fine. But the problem occurred when the lights in the hall were put on at intermission. To my horror, I found my mother’s cousin in the hall. Rather she was the one who spotted me. My limbs became numb. I knew she won’t delay in informing my mother about my mischief. Along with me both my friends also were scared since my mother would not hide it from their mothers. The rest of the movie made no sense to us. As soon as the movie got over we left the hall without delay and directly went to our homes. The more I neared my home the slower I became. But the news of my misdeed reached home before me. My mother’s cousin had informed her of everything promptly. I sensed it as soon as I entered my home.
PARAGRAPH 5
Mother directly charged me. Without giving her any excuse I confessed everything. I expected terrible scolding, beating, and punishment. But to my amazement, no such thing happened. My mother told me she was extremely embarrassed when she heard about her own daughter from an outsider. She would have felt much better had she heard it directly from me. She even told me how this news would spread among the relatives like a bush fire and how much pain she would receive when she would hear any remark being passed about her daughter.
(CONCLUSION)
My personal behavior and the fact that I gave so much pain to my mother really made me feel very embarrassed. I promised her that in the future I would never tell any lie or hide anything from her. And I have promised the same to myself. I feel very relieved sharing the incident with you. I was here today with lots of love for you.

HOW TO WRITE A SALUTATION
(SALUTATION)
Dear Aunt,
(INTRODUCTION)
I am very excited to share a piece of wonderful news with you. You would be glad to hear that today in the morning assembly in school our Principal Mrs. S. Lewis announced that the school has chosen me for the ‘Student of the year’ award for this academic session.
(BODY OF AN INFORMAL LETTER)
The school had introduced this award a couple of years ago for the secondary section students. The school gives this award to those students of the secondary section who have achieved a good position not only in the examinations held throughout the year but also in other co-curricular activities. The main intention of the school to introduce this award is to motivate the students both in the field of academics as well as extracurricular activities.
SPECIMEN OF INFORMAL WRITING
I was sure about receiving some awards for my excellent academic performance throughout the year but the ‘Student of the year’ award was beyond my imagination. The school also considered my performance in the inter-school debate competition and inter-state dance competition. Then there was also my acting skill which might have also been considered by the judges. I played the role of Mark Anthony in the Shakespearean play Julius Caesar which our school staged in the drama fest that the young Mind Drama Association organized.
PARAGRAPH 4
The organizers awarded our school the first position and they declared me the best actor. Moreover, my three gold medals in three different events in the Annual Sports Meet also played a significant role in my winning this award. All my teachers are very happy about me. My classmates too are very happy and proud of me. And my house knew no bounds after I heard it.
HOW TO WRITE A LETTER
The school will award me the prize at the Annual Prize Day ceremony. Since I love you so much and you have a very special position in my life, I will fill myself with delight if you attend the prize distribution ceremony along with my parents.
(CONCLUSION)
I shall be looking forward to seeing you on the day of the event. Hope you will not dishearten me.
