Personal letter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A personal letter is a type of letter which provides communication between a small number of people, usually two. There are many types of personal letters and they are written for a wide variety of reasons:
- One person wishes to attain information from an individual or a business.
- One person wishes to tell somebody about themselves, as in pen pals.
- One person wishes to present to an individual or a business a social note, such as a thank-you or a congratulation.
- One person wishes to communicate with an acquaintance - friend or family, for example - news of themselves in order to maintain and reinforce the bond between them
Surviving personal letters are often an important source of information about the lives of historical figures.
