Social etiquette notes that are expected may be important. Many do not write letters to socially invite or let another know that one will attend a party, or to thank another. Instead of writing letters they write social notes -to acquaintances, or strangers. As in letter writing, notes cause impressions to be formed about one.
The feelings of parents are -from a poem by the Cypriot thinker writer poet teacher the late Orhan Seyfi Ari:
A get well note or card, whether to a close relative away and you also write a letter, or on its own, is always more appreciated if one adds a personal touch to it. For example, if to a friend and it is not serious, “Don’t take your time about getting well -we haven’t finished our chess game yet.”; if to a friend, and it is serious, “I’ll pray for your speedy recovery.” An example, if it is to someone you hardly know and are sending it as the done-thing in your social or business circles, is: “I will look forward to hearing of your recovery from mutual friends and colleagues.”
Sympathy notes must be written carefully. These are e.g., get-well notes, sometimes on cards; or, to express condolences to someone who is in mourning -when most do not write a letter but a note.
When writing letters, if to officials or business letters, fold twice to 1/3 of page; if you are writing a letter to meet, allow 4-6 weeks [if from afar 6-8], if awaiting confirmation 2 more weeks -if expected to enclose postage for reply from another country, use international reply coupons [‘Union Postale’] ~unless ‘thank you’ notes don’t use address labels. Often at basic weight-steps small-packets or printed matter cost less if sent letter-rate.
Continue the letter, in a new paragraph. Be brief, simple, e.g., “This is to confirm that .” End your letter as ended their letter.
