One member of PenPalConnect lives in American Samoa. Here is what helps a first letter land.
✍️ A few words to start and end with
Nobody expects a whole letter in their language. A greeting and a sign-off in it says you thought about who is reading — and gives them something to correct, which is a fine way to start a friendship.
English
- Hello
- Hello
- Opening a letter
- Dear …,
- Thank you for your letter
- Thank you for your letter.
- Signing off
- Best wishes,

Mention the time of day or the season you are writing in. It is the detail that makes a letter feel sent from somewhere, and the one they are most likely to answer in kind.
