You sent a letter to a friend abroad, but didn’t wait for an answer? It is possible that he simply does not know how to write and draw up letters to Russia. Although there is nothing complicated in this, if you think logically.
Instruction manual
1
In Russia, an unofficial form of appeal in private letters to even unfamiliar people has been adopted. So you can not come up with various epithets in order to emphasize all your respect for this person, and not even write "Dear
"or" Dear
.", because in our country they usually pay attention not to the form, but to the content of the letter. Often, a name and a middle name are enough, or just a name.
2
Depending on the topic of your message and proximity with the addressee, you can adhere to a semi-official tone and carefully follow spelling and punctuation or write it in a conversational style, avoiding unnecessary philosophies (we don’t particularly like them, especially if the quote, aphorism is your own or borrowed - are included in the text, as they say. "For a red word"). However, friendly or intimate correspondence should also be more or less literate.
3
In conclusion, you should not scatter thanks for the previous message you received (it is better to start the letter with this if you want). But it is necessary to express hope that your correspondence will not stop, otherwise your addressee may withdraw his obligation to continue it.
4
Buy an envelope in the mail for sending international letters. In the upper left corner, indicate your address as is customary in your country, so that if the letter does not reach the addressee, your postal service can return it to you. In the lower right corner (but closer to the middle of the envelope) indicate the address in Russia in transliteration (that is, without translating the names of Russian streets into English or another language). It will be best if you choose the procedure for indicating the address accepted in the Russian Federation: country, region, settlement, street, house, apartment, full name of the addressee, as this letter will be delivered by Russian Post. And the mail of your state does not need a Russian address.
