A friendly letter has some unique parts that help you share your message nicely. First, you write the date at the top so your friend knows when you sent it. Next, there's a "Greeting" where you say "Hi" or "Dear" and then your friend's name. After that is the "Body," where you write your message and tell them everything you want to share. At the end, there's the "Closing," which is where you say something like "Love" or "Your friend." Finally, you sign your name so they know the letter is from you. These parts help make your letter easy to understand and fun to read!
