Informal Letter

Yours affectionately,

For informal letters to friends and family members, appropriate subscriptions include 'Yours affectionately,' 'With love,' 'Yours lovingly,' or 'Your loving friend.' These show warmth and personal connection. Option A is used in formal letters to known people. Option B is used in formal letters to unknown people. Option D is too formal and respectful for friends.

With only your first name

Informal letters should be signed with only your first name, showing the personal and friendly nature of the correspondence. Since you're writing to someone close to you, they know your full identity. Option A is too formal for informal letters. Option C doesn't provide clear identification. Option D includes unnecessary formality that's inappropriate for personal letters.

Point to or introduce the topic of the letter

The opening sentences should directly introduce the main topic or purpose of the letter. This helps the reader understand the context immediately and makes the letter more focused and effective. Option A involves irrelevant topics that don't serve the letter's purpose. Option C is unnecessary unless genuinely required. Option D distracts from the main message and wastes valuable space.

Informal, polite, and friendly

An informal letter should maintain a balance - friendly and personal but still polite and respectful. The language should be conversational yet proper, avoiding both excessive formality and inappropriate casualness. Option A is too stiff for personal correspondence. Option C goes too far with casualness and may be unclear or inappropriate. Option D lacks the warmth expected in personal letters.
