Tips for Survivor Letters / Messages
Consider what you most want to convey. You may want to draft the letter in notepad or application, and then copy and paste it into the service. You don't need to know exactly what you're going to say at the outset, only the reason you're reaching out and a general idea of what you wish to Express.
Choose a salutation that is you. There is no need to be stilted and formal. If Hey, buddy! is more your style than Dear Brian, use what feels more like you.
Begin with a loving statement on the person's well being, something along the lines of I hope you're having a great day. Or, if the person has been ill or dealing with a challenge, pose a question about the situation, such as How are things coming along with _____? Or for a new grandchild, try a simple Welcome to our family!
Start off by stating why you're writing the letter: I'm writing today to share how thankful I am to have met you. Or, I'm sending you this letter so you always have my words to look back on as you take on life’s new adventures. Or, I wanted to share some stories of your family, so you know the history of those who love you.
From there, expand on the why. Write from the heart, from a place of love and caring for the person. Don't edit yourself too much, and don't worry about saying things right and perfect and grammatically correct. Simply be yourself, and be conversational, as if you're talking in person. Imagine a conversation you might have with the person if you spoke the way you wish you could.
There's no ideal message length, write whatever length allows you to say what you wanted to say.
Once you feel you have expressed all you wanted, add a loving statement or two. Mention how thankful you are for the opportunity to let person know what's in your heart and how much you love and care about him or her.
End the message with another loving statement like: I love you. I'm thinking of you. You're in my thoughts. I'm praying for you, or end with a phrase you want to be a special one between you and the person. So Long and Thanks for all the Fish! may not be the sentiment to share, but if it's you, then use it.
