Q&A for How to Write an Informal Letter

If you can, give them this information in a personal conversation. It's much quicker and much more informal than any letter, and you can easily answer their questions right away. Otherwise, write a letter simply stating the facts, and suggest to talk about this the next time you meet if they have questions.

You can start by introducing yourself, explaining how you are related to them, and how met. Possibly mention a few other relatives they may know to help break the ice. Then you can explain your reason for writing to them, giving them some examples of what you want to know and why. Always be polite, and respect their wishes. If they don't want to communicate with you, don't take it personally, but it is possible you may be able to reconnect with a family member.

You can start by saying what you enjoy about the school. What activities have you joined, what the classes are like, what types of sports teams they have, what the students are like. Then you can contrast this by writing about some things you miss about your old school, and ask your friend about how they are doing at school. You don't have to include all the information in one single letter, in fact it would be a good way to keep in touch with your friend.
