Friendship letter examples
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.
I know things are hard right now. I'm not going anywhere. Whatever you need — to talk, to be distracted, or just to not be alone — I'm here. You don't go through this by yourself.
Distance doesn't change what you mean to me. You're still one of my closest people, wherever we both end up. Let's not lose each other.
It's been too long and I keep meaning to reach out properly. So here it is: I miss you, I think about you, and I'm glad you're in my life.
You've been through a lot lately and I just want you to know: I see it, I admire your strength, and I'm here. Always.
We've known each other through so many different versions of ourselves. That kind of history doesn't happen with many people. I'm glad it happened with you.

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.
