Thank you for your letter. I’m very pleased that we are going to be pen friends. I’ll tell you a little about myself and you can do the same when you write me.
Body of the letter.
I live in an area of London called Maida Vale. It’s quite near the centre, but there are parks nearby where I take my dog, Mickey for a walk. I live with my parents and my younger brother, Paul.
I go to the local comprehensive school, where I have a lot of friends. At the weekends I like going swimming or horse-riding.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Much love,
Name
Francis Janes

Maxine
