Don't forget to check your spelling, grammar and indentation!

The Closing

• The first letter is capitalized and a comma is placed at the end.
• The closing goes below the body and aligned with the heading.
• You can use: Sincerly, Your Friend, Love or some variation.

Signature
• The easiest part of all! This is your name. • Make sure you capitalize your name.• Since it is a friendly letter, you need not
include your last name.
