1. You have to be honest to your pen pal. You do not want a


friend who does not tell the truth all the time. You must not


make lies to your letters and be true to yourself on any


information you want your pen pal to know. Trusting one another


can strengthen the very foundation of your relationship.





2. You have to build a good reputation to your pen pal. Write


good traits about yourself, this might help you to build a nice


impression of yourself and make your pen pal picture you as a


good person.





3. You have to be consistent in writing your pen pal. Always


include your pen pal in on your list on what not to forget for


this day or week. If you failed to send letters in the past


weeks that means you are an inconsistent friend. You should


always keep in mind that your friend misses you a lot and waits


for your letters. Make a list of the special occasions and


events that you have written one another.





4. You have to be reliable all the time. Make sure to do it and


not to fail to send him messages when your friend tells you that


you should write to him at this time or in a specific date. If


there are instances where a more important concern took your


time away in writing him, make sure to make an explanation on


why you were not able to reply in his letters.





5. You have to be trustworthy enough as a pen pal especially if


your pen pal tells you confidential issues or secrets. You have


to keep it on yourself and not share it with others, since your


pen pal have entrusted you to share his problems or concerns on


different matters. You must not ignore it if he had thoughts of


killing himself or if he wants to commit suicide or issues of


sexual abuse. In this issue, you can get help or you can refer


it to those who are concerned to your friend.





6. You have to share with your friend your knowledge and skills.


Many people find pen pals because they want to expand their


knowledge in the things that surrounds them. In return, they


also want to share their knowledge and talents as well. Tell


your pen pal about the beautiful place where you live and share


stories about your friends. You can invite your pen pal to


attend an occasion or a special event. You may assure him that


he will enjoy and have the experience that he will never forget.


However, do not expect that your friend will accept your


invitation. It does not matter if your pen pal declines your


invitation. Maybe in the near future your friend might just come


and join you.





If you are good in making poems and telling stories, share the


special talent that you have. Sharing it with your pen pal might


have an interest to him. Your friend might even share his


talents to you. If you have passions for a particular thing or


cause, share it. Your pen pal might find it interesting and if


your friend can benefit from it, he may surprise you that he is


also considering your passions.





7. You have to use right grammar and correct spelling when


writing to your pen pal. Your letters must be clear and easy to


understand. Make the message straight to what you are pointing


out and use Basic English in your letters. Look for correct


spellings in the dictionary if you are not sure with the words


you are using.





8. You must learn how to forgive and forget. There are times in


letters, you tend to hurt or offend the feeling of your friend


and sometimes you do not know she felt bad about what you wrote.


Explain to your friend that you did not intentionally want to


hurt his feelings. Maybe your friend will understand after all


you have a certain thing that bonds you and have that special


understanding to one another because you are friends. Say and


accept apologies. Be humble and say sorry. It takes a special


friendship to pen pals who know how to forgive and forget.
