Start with Dear + name for someone you do not know well, or Hi + name for a close friend. End with a short closing like Write soon or Best wishes, and type your name on a new line. Always put a comma after names and closings.

Use Thanks for or Thank you for + your + noun to say thank you for a message or picture. Do not leave out your, and do not use Thanks to when you mean thank you.

Use I am writing to + base verb to tell your reason for writing. Always use to before the action word, never for.

After I hope and Can you tell me + question word, keep the normal sentence order: subject + verb. Do not change the word order or add extra question words like does.
