Dear friend Sameer,
Loving greetings (सप्रेम नमस्कार).
Just yesterday I heard the happy news from my mother that you have passed the scholarship exam with excellent marks. I was overjoyed to hear it. Heartiest congratulations!
I remember that when I visited you during last year's holidays, you got up early every morning to practise maths. This success is the fruit of that hard work and determination. I can imagine how proud uncle and aunty must be of you. Seeing your success has inspired me to study harder next year too. Do write in your next letter how you prepared for the exam and which books you used.
May you keep achieving such success in the future too. Give my regards to uncle and aunty, and my love to little Riya. Write back soon.
Your dear friend,
A.B.C.
Key points
- The informal letter uses the salutation "Dear friend" (प्रिय मित्र) and the greeting "Loving greetings" (सप्रेम नमस्कार).
- The congratulations come right at the start, so the purpose of the letter is clear at once.
- Recalling the friend's hard work makes the letter feel heartfelt and warm.
- Regards to the family and a request for a reply at the end are the usual parts of an informal letter.
