Example of A friendly letter:

Hello dear friend,

I hope you are well and that the giant pimple on your forehead has finally gone away. It was so nice to see you last week and have tea and a nice chat.

I will be heading off to France next week for a month long cultural exchange. I'm really excited to be going and a little bit scared to be so far from home. I will be staying with a family and speaking only French all day. I will send you postcards.

Have a wonderful day and I will see you when I return. Perhaps I will bring you back a beret.
