How To Start A Letter To A Friend

[Cartier]

If it were me, I think I would start with, Mon cher Edward

Perhaps he thinks it is not sophisticated enough. French always adds a bit of sophistication.

 

[Toothpick]

here's a few I just came up with:

Yo!,

What it is,

Sup,

Dear bro,

Hey man,

Dear Mr. ___,

To: ____,

To my favorite human,

or just start with his name: Ed,

or simply just start writing the letter, addressing no one.

 

[whavens]

Or you could go with the great greeting at the beginning of Grumpy Old Men........Putz.

 

[the_edski]

The_Edski, Steward of the Brown Leaf, good all around Gent, and legend in his own mind.... Most noted for never going by the name of Bonnie, talking to Wilbur, and is pretty dang good at counting to ten and doing small math at state fairs

I approve this description!

 

[wherndon]

I approve this description!

My dearest Eddy,
Please PM me your addy before this pass-around journal catches fire, or I spill bourbon on it, or maybe both.
That dearest Christopher fellow, is giving me bad vibes.
Gots to unload...

 

[Rockminer]

That dearest Christopher fellow, is giving me bad vibes.

I'm not understanding your statement, is this meant as a joke? Please explain.

I'm not sure why you call Jason Ed.

"Salutations" would work. Hi and Hey are what I tend to use. With a person you know you don't really need a formal greeting. Oh yes . . . "Greetings from your friend Syngent", "Greetings from the great white North".

In the case of Edski . . . Dear Mr. Sock should suffice.

 

[Cartier]

When I send a letter to the best of friends I have a special greeting.

This isn't a letter to one of my bros, or one of my dawgs. No, I only send this letter to my....

Dearest Brodawg,


Perhaps your brodawg will enjoy the same.

 

[syngent]

Lol Mike.. Ed won't get the Mr.Sock reference though though... thus making it much funnier... he's Mr. Sock from now on

 

[rickcharles606]

To whom it may concern;

My captors have demanded that I pen this letter.....

 

[litespeedone]

I vote for "To Whom It May Concern..."

He can then take it or leave it, plus you've got an out.

 

[the_edski]

This a thread for the ages, not just because it mentions me so many times...

I think I will address my next letter to James: "Dear my Canadian bro-hemius..."

 

[rockviper]

I don't get any letters

 

[the_edski]

I don't get any letters

You've been doing something wrong then, Sam. We are pen pal junkies here!

 

[Dave258]

I don't get any letters

But you get James, up close and in person! Priceless......

My letter just started with boring old, Dave...

Man I need to catch up on letters, sorry to all you guys that I owe them to!

 

[rockviper]

But you get James, up close and in person! Priceless......

He just comes over to eat my food

 

[syngent]

He just comes over to eat my food

Well get a cat... then you can tell good stories about my visits and start a dinner table refinishing project thread all at the same time

 

[the_edski]

He just comes over to eat my food

And dump ink on your SWMBO/children/pets/neighbors/etc...

I thought this whole thread was about sending a letter to Mr. Ed.... and I thought why would anybody send a letter to a horse.......

[syngent]
