Here's an example of a letter skeleton, assuming one from 김영숙 to 박영수 who is older but familiar to her.
영수씨,
그 동안 잘 지내셨어요?
...
... (paragraphs)
...
그럼 잘 지내시길 바라며 이만 줄이겠어요.
2016. 12. 31, *부산에서*
영숙 올림
* The location reference "부산에서" ("from Busan") is optional - it's often used if the person is away from home.
* The last line represents "sent by (someone)" or "from (someone)", and may vary a bit:
- 김영숙 올림 - most common and formal. Used for people older.
- 영숙 올림 / 영숙 드림 - less formal. Good when the other person is only a few years older.
- 영숙이가 - informal, to a friend. If the name ends in a vowel, 이 is not needed (ex: 철수가).
