Sample Letter Asking How Someone Is Doing
Here's a sample letter asking how someone is doing, along with some tips to make it more personal:
Subject: Catching Up!
Dear [Name],
I hope this email finds you well.
It's been a while since we last spoke, and I wanted to reach out and see how you're doing. How's everything going with [mention something specific, like work, school, a recent event]?
[Add a personal touch, like sharing something about your own life that's relevant to the recipient.]
I would love to hear all about what you've been up to. Feel free to reply to this email or give me a call at [phone number].
Best,
[Your Name]
Here are some tips for writing a good letter asking how someone is doing:
- Be genuine: Your email should feel like a real conversation. Don't just write "How are you?" and leave it at that.
- Be specific: Mention a particular event, project, or something else that you know the person has been working on.
- Share something about yourself: It shows you're interested in their life, and it makes the email feel more like a two-way conversation.
- Don't be afraid to be a little funny or lighthearted: A bit of humor can help to break the ice.
- Suggest next steps: Let the person know you'd like to hear back from them and how they can reach you.
Here are some other ways to phrase your email:
- "I was just thinking about you and wanted to see how you're doing."
- "I hope you're having a great week!"
- "I've been meaning to reach out and catch up."
- "I hope this email finds you well and in good spirits."
