Sample Greeting Letters

Want to surprise a loved one, friend, colleague, customer or acquaintance with a heartfelt message of encouragement, support and thoughtfulness? Shoot them a greeting letter.

Don't burden yourself with hard and fast rules about writing one. Write from the heart. You are a human being writing to another human being. Be yourself. Above all, be sincere. That said, please remember to personalize the letter keeping in mind the relationship that you share with the recipient. The more intimate the relationship, the more casual your greeting letter can be.

You can write a greeting letter to wish someone the best of luck . . . a good morning/night . . . to let them know that you miss them . . . or simply wish them a great day. There are dozens of other reasons to write a loved one, friend, colleague, customer or acquaintance a greeting letter. All you have to do is get those creative juices flowing.

A great way to make a greeting letter even more heartfelt and/or intimate is to write it out by hand. If you have been told that your handwriting is illegible, why not try writing a greeting letter in block letters? You could even make a joke out of why you are doing so!

Or you could simply slow down the pace at which you write to make sure the message is legible. Ask someone to read out the letter loud to find out where your message needs tweaking.
