Postcard

Postcards are sent mostly, so they can shortly inform about trip progress and give a proof of remembering about recipient. You can that way (with help of occasional card) submit a holiday, name-day and congratulate wishes.

First post card was sent in Austria in 1869.

Tips

• write shortly;
  
• use key words, not a detailed description;
  
• put a little character in your text;
  
• remember, that content of postcard is public;
  
• remember, that postcard is directed to specific person;
  
• don’t put postcard in an envelope (unless, it’s a circumstance card).

Scheme

1. Date;
   
2. Salutation (e.g. “Dear …,”);
   
3. Information regarding of place where you write from, weather, sights, accommodation and etc;
   
4. Positive summation of your experience;
   
5. Encourage your recipient to visit this place, expression of regret, that he’s not present there;
   
6. Salutation (e.g. “Love”, “Kisses”) and signature.

Postcard from vacation

Dear Anna,

I’m at Athens now. Greece is beautiful and very sunny. I saw many great places. Biggest impression on me did an Acropol. Details after return. I’m sad that you’re not here, you would be hugely impressed.

Love,
Marek
