example informal letter

Dear Abdellah,

I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately,. I’m a bit worried about how things have been going for you recently. You’ve seemed really stressed whenever we talk, and I’ve noticed you’re not taking much time for yourself.

I understand that work has been super busy, but I’m concerned that you’re burning yourself out. I’ve heard you’re not sleeping well and skipping meals. You’re such a great friend, and I hate to see you struggling like this.

Maybe we could find some time to hang out and relax? I also think taking small steps like going for a walk or cooking a healthy meal could really help. You don’t have to do everything at once, but starting with a little self-care could make a huge difference.

Please know that I’m here for you no matter what. Let me know if you want to talk or if there’s anything I can do to help.

Take care,
