What to write about?

Start with a greeting, introduce yourself and share a bit about yourself: where you live, what you do, why you decided to write. Perhaps you noticed something interesting about the person or share common interests — these can be good starting points. Ask your recipient about their hobbies, share a story from your life, or simply express your support. Read examples of first letters and replies for inspiration!
