Writing a nice letter to your best friend is always a good idea. You could do this, for example, if she has moved or has been away for a while. Even if you live next door to each other, writing a letter can show that you care. You can give the personal letter something extra by using beautiful writing materials and making the content more meaningful. Your best friend can keep the letter as a symbol of your special friendship and read the text if she wants to be reminded of your strong bond.

Part 1 of 3: Getting inspiration for your letter

1. Make notes. It can be difficult to write a meaningful letter from scratch. While you no doubt know your best friend well, figuring out what to write can still be a daunting task.
   • During the day, make small notes if you see something to use in your letter. Think of things you see that your girlfriend would find fun or funny or things that you experience and want to share with her. Your best friend will undoubtedly enjoy it when you add details of your daily life to your letter.
   • You can make notes on a notepad, but it may not be convenient to have to carry them with you all the time. You can also choose to use an application on your smartphone to take notes. Save the file with "Best friend letter" as the file name.
   • When you are about to write the letter, look again at the notes you made to remind yourself of the things you want to include in the letter.
2. Think about questions you can ask. When you write a letter to your best friend, you want to let her know that you are interested in her. Despite the fact that you are best friends and have probably been for quite some time, there are always things you can learn about the other person. Ask her questions, and let her know your answers to the questions. Questions to ask your best friend include:
   • If you could be an animal, what animal would you want to be, and why? You could even add what animal you think would be your girlfriend.
   • If you could meet a fictional character in real life, who would you like to meet?
   • If you could magically have a particular ability, what ability would you like to have?
   • Do you think aliens really exist?
   • What makes you really happy?
   • What kind of food do you really hate?
   • Is there someone you are in love with right now?
   • What do you prefer to do with me?
3. Make plans to meet. You can make specific plans or brainstorm fun things that you can do together. By putting the plans on paper, you will both get excited about the fun things you can do together.
   • Organize a movie marathon and enjoy your favorite movies together.
   • Create your own book club of which only you are a member.
   • Brainstorm ideas for a project you can work on together.
   • Make a list of places or attractions that you can visit.
4. Tell your best friend what you like about her. In some cases, the friendship will be so close that you can share almost anything with each other. In a letter you can share things with your girlfriend that you probably wouldn't normally share in a conversation.
   • Think about the personality traits that your best friend has and that you admire a lot.
   • Also, think about the times when your best friend was there for you and helped you.

Part 2 of 3: Writing the letter

1. Choose your writing utensils, stationery and envelope. You will give your letter that little bit extra if you use beautiful writing materials and choose special stationery. Try to think in advance what your girlfriend likes. For example, if your best friend loves flowers, buy stationery and put flowers on it. Then look for a matching envelope.
   • If you opt for blank stationery, you can place a paper with lines under the stationery so that you can write somewhat straight.
2. Add the date at the top of the letter. Write the date of the day you write the letter in the top right corner of the letterhead. This allows your best friend to always see when you wrote her the letter.
   • Adding a date is also useful if your letter is delivered later for whatever reason.
   • This is especially important if the address you are sending the letter to is far from you.
3. Begin the letter with a greeting. This is common with any type of letter. Start your letter with "Dear ..." and add your best friend's name.
   • You can of course also start with a simple "Hello!"
   • If you want to make it a bit more personal, you can also start with "Hello dear friend!", "Hey bff!" Or call her by her nickname.
4. Write the rest of the letter. Write as much or as little as you want. Your best friend will be very happy with your letter, even if you leave it at one or two paragraphs.
   • You can safely use more than one sheet of stationery.
   • In this part of your letter you can include fun anecdotes and ask how she is doing.
   • Write her a letter to tell you how you are and what is going on in your life. She is your best friend and she wants to know how you are doing. For example, if you have fallen in love with someone, write about this in your letter.
   • Provide your best friend in your letter with a list of nice songs or series that she absolutely must listen to or watch.
5. End your letter with a few sweet words. If you haven't seen her in a while, tell her you miss her.
   • For example, you could end with the following sentence: "I miss you! I hope to hear from you soon! "
   • Close your letter with "Greetings from your best friend" or "Lots of love" and sign the letter with your name.
   • If you have forgotten something in your letter, you can always add a PS at the bottom of the letter with the message that you have forgotten.
6. Decorate your letter. To make the letter more personal, you can choose to add small drawings. You could even sign on the envelope. Make use of pencils, markers and highlighters while decorating and go for your best friend's favorite colors.
   • Make a small drawing of yourself and your girlfriend, or add hearts and flowers.
   • If you don't want to add drawings, you can also use stamps or stickers to decorate the letter.
7. Spray a small amount of perfume on the letter. This will give your letter that little bit extra and will remind your girlfriend of you. Hold the perfume bottle a few inches away from the letter and aim the atomizer at the letter. Spray a small amount of perfume on the letter, taking care not to get it wet.
   • A small amount is sufficient.
   • Smell the stationery to see if you actually smell the perfume.

Part 3 of 3: Sending the letter to your best friend

1. Fold the letter. You should fold the letter in three equal parts if you are using standard sized letterhead. Once you have folded your letter, you can put it in the envelope.
   • Seal the envelope by licking the edge or using a wet sponge if it is not self-adhesive.
   • You can also use a sticker or a decorative piece of tape to seal the envelope. This is an extra security and gives the envelope something extra.
2. Provide the envelope with the correct address. If the address is incorrect or incomplete, the letter will not arrive. First, write your best friend's full name in the center of the envelope.
   • If you don't plan on sending the letter by post, just write your best friend's name on the envelope.
   • If you do want to send the letter by post, write the street name and house number below her name. Then write the zip code and city name under it again.
   • In the top left corner you write your own name and address. Stick the stamp in the top right corner of the envelope.
3. Post the letter. Transfer the letter to the mail deliverers by placing it on the mailbox. There is undoubtedly a street mailbox near you.
   • You can also take the letter to the post office instead of mailing it yourself. This may cause the letter to be delivered faster.
   • If you add something to the envelope that increases its weight, it would be wise to go to the post office. It is possible that more stamps are needed.

Tips

• If you want to give the letter something extra, add a small gift to the envelope. Think of an origami heart or a sticker with the name of your girlfriend on it.
• Always tell your best friend how you are and make sure that the contact between the two of you doesn't get watered down.
