Ending

Ending an informal letter

- Love,

- Lots of love,

- Best wishes,

- Yours,

- All the best, 

Before you end

You often use a last sentence. It is often to wish someone well, ask to meet again soon, send love or maybe ask for help. 

examples: "Hope you are well" "send my love to your family" 
"hope to speak to you soon" "keep in touch!"

After this you sign off appropriately and lastly your name

Hey Nic,

How are you going?

Thanks for sending me the photos from your holiday. It looks like you had a great time!

How're Leah and the kids? And what about your dog, Snoopy? He was just a puppy last time I saw him.

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to your birthday party. I would have loved to come but I was really busy at work and it was hard to get away. Thanks for the invitation though.

Would it be possible for you to send me some photos from the party? I'd love to see how it all went.

I can't wait until you come to visit in March. Do you know how long you'll be staying? I'll try to think of some fun things to do.

See you soon.

All the best,

Jack
