Is there a convention for writing a letter in toki pona? If not, I am curious as to what such convention would be. My guess is it would vary somewhat from English's convention, due to the grammatical differences between it and toki pona. We begin with Dear Bobby, ; however, I see a simple jan Papi o...

jan Soso o lukin! So and So, lookie here, I sent you a letter! «o lukin!» li tawa pona e mi. «o toki!» kin li pona. So, I've started using "lon pona" as a kind of more respectful and nice conterpart to "tawa pona". I think it could work well for letters as well. ni li pona e mi....
