Good morning everyone ?

Selamat pagi semua

Saya harap kalian semua sehat ya?

Pada tertemuan kali ini kita akan membahas materi personal letter. Kira – kira , ada yang tahu ga  personal letter itu apa?

Yeah, personal letter is surat pribadi

Personal letter is a type of letter that usually concerns personal matters and is sent from one individual to another. This type of letter is normally written to a friends or a relative. The aim of writting personal letter is not only to react to a situation, but also to strengthen a relationship between the writer and the letter recipient.

There are seven parts of personal letter as follows:

1.       The write’s address ( alamat pengirim )

This should be located at the top right corner of the page.

2.       Date ( tanggal dimana surat ditulis )

The date is written below the writer’s address. Typical formats for writing the date are follows:

-          10th august 2014 ( or ) august10, 2014

-          10 – 08 – 2014 ( or ) 10.08.2014 ( or ) 21 – 10 -2014 ( or ) 21.10.2014. howeter, the first two formats are preferable.

3.       Salutation ( salam sapa’an )

A salutation is a greeting that always ends with a comma. To write a salutation, think about the nature of the writer’s relationship with the letter’s recipent.

Formal style       :Dear Doni

                                My Dear father,

                                My dear Ucle,

Informal style    :Hi Nina,

                                Hello Manda,

                               

4.       Body ( tubuh surat/ isi surat )

Body is the heart of the letter. It is divided into two parts, namely opening and content. The opening can be described as an extended greeting that asks more deeply about the recipient’s life. Meanwhile, the content includes personal matters that tell what events have happened, discuss topics of mutual interest, and / or se share good information.

5.       Closing ( penutup )

A clossing is the end of the letter that is determined by relationship between the writer and the recipient. The most common formats for writing a closing are as follows:

Formal style        : sincerely

                                  Best wishes,

 

Informal style    : Love,

                                  Take care

6.       Signature ( tertanda / tanda tangan )

A personal letter should be signed as she / he may be recognized.

Example: wildan ( not wildan syahsaputra )
