Modern society has become so operational and computerized that writing ordinary letters has become exotic. Some modern schoolchildren have no idea that there are services such as sending ordinary paper letters. And in vain. It is the handwritten letter that bears the true historical value, conveys the warmth of the sender's hands, reflects the mood in the handwriting.

Instruction manual
1
In order to write a regular letter, first of all, decide to whom and where it will be sent. Find the exact address: zip code (six-digit code), country, region, locality, street, house, apartment. Find out the surname, name and patronymic of the recipient. Sit back, take a blank sheet of paper, a pen. And stock up on inspiration. After all, to write a good letter is how to compose a whole literary work.

Decide on the style of writing: business, love, friendly. The use of phrases and the use of stylistic techniques depend on this. Start with a greeting, given the rules of etiquette and decency. Do not write "Hello!", "Salute!" and similar greetings to adults, the elderly, and strangers. Greet the recipient, guided by your relationship with him.

Then you can ask how the addressee is doing, just don’t “dig” deep into your soul, do not ask too much so as not to offend. Summarize the survey to a decent absentee interview. You won’t get an exact and quick answer anyway.

Next, indicate the purpose of your letter, describe yourself, your life, your affairs (if necessary). Remember that not all information is useful. Relate whether the addressee needs to know about your lifestyle. Tell us about news that will be of interest to the reader of the letter. Report changes that have touched common topics.

After writing a letter, do not forget to say goodbye, wish good luck, etc. At the same time, do not forget about the rules of etiquette. Make out the desired address, your return address (it will come in handy if the letter returns). Fold the letter so that it fits in the envelope. Seal it. Take it to the nearest post office in Russia. They will specify the cost of departure. And wait for an answer.
