A letter is a written message that can be handwritten or printed on paper. It is usually sent to the recipient via mail or post in an envelope, although this is not a requirement as such. Any such message that is transferred via post is a letter, a written conversation between two parties.

Now that E-mails (Advantages and disadvantages) and texts and other such forms have become the norm for communication, the art of letter writing has taken a backseat. However, even today a lot of our communication, especially the formal kind, is done via letters. Whether it is a cover letter for a job, or the bank sending you a reminder or a college acceptance letter, letters are still an important mode of communication. Which is why it is important that we know the intricacies of letter writing.

Dear Thalita,

Hello!

How are you, honey? I hope you are not disappointed with me because I am writing to you after a log time. I have to say sorry, please forgive me, sweety. You know we are in Bali now. It was so beautiful island beyond my expectation. I am writing this letter from beautiful restaurant on Kuta Beach. I am sitting on the corner of this restaurant. I look so many people here around the world. As you know, my mother really loves traveling, so we go to some places here. I took a slice of paper on my bag to write a letter for you while we enjoy our lunch.

By the way, yesterday I went to tanah Lot and Taman Budaya Garuda  Wisnu. Tanah Lot has a unique Pura which is located in the midle of the sea. Here, you will find complete supporting means. Beside, Taman Budaya Garuda  Wisnu has also beautiful scene with its Garuda's statue, lotus pon and indraloka garden. We spent a much time there. That was unforgettable experience. I wish we were here next time, so it would be more fun.

My mother was making sure that we did not miss a single place of this island, so we had practically been all destinations.

I have to go. We will continue our journey. I will see you later.

Love,

Wiwin

P.S. I’m bringing you back a souvenir!
