How Do You Write a Letter About Yourself?
When constructing a letter about yourself, address the letter to the appropriate recipient, such as a friend, family member or potential employee; start the letter with an interesting fact or detail about personality traits or accomplishments to hook the reader; and write about interests, hobbies, work history, academic success, goals and dreams. The letter should have a friendly-yet-professional tone with the proper use of grammar, punctuation and spelling.
When introducing yourself in a letter, provide background information about city of residence, schools attended, jobs or tasks completed, degrees awarded, athletic team participation, extracurricular activities, volunteer engagements, and likes and dislikes. For example, a person may want to share how he volunteered at an animal shelter and further explain that his interests and love for animals were fostered during childhood or influenced by a prominent figure in the community.
