No occasion — I just wanted to write something down. You're one of the best people I know, and I'm genuinely glad you're in my life. That's it. That's the whole letter.
Friendship letter examples
Writing a friendship letter that actually gets sent
- The biggest mistake with friendship letters is not sending them. Done is better than perfect.
- Reference something specific to your friendship — an inside joke, a shared memory, a quality only you would notice in them.
- A friendship letter doesn't need a special occasion. The lack of one is sometimes the point.
