Following Conventions For individual correspondence, there are two significant shows in French letters: welcome and closings. The articulations you use rely upon your relationship with the individual you are writing to, especially whether you know her by and by. Additionally, consider whether to useâ tuâ orâ vous-tuâ is the natural you,â while vousâ is the proper welcome for you in French. Recollect that these French articulations don't generally make an interpretation of well into English. These are usable counterparts, as opposed to strict interpretations.
