Sub: Thanks a lot for the gift!
Dear uncle,I’m fine and I hope my e-mail finds you in robust health. Your gift exactly on my birthday was a bolt from the blue. You had remembered the promise you had made three months ago and sent a marvelous Lap Top. It is light but very cool. I am really proud of you. I pray God that you get more success in your business venture abroad and help other helpless ’
children too.
Yours lovingly

Sub: Seeking scholarshipDear Sir,
I am Ritika about to complete my Std XI in Government Higher Secondary School, Nandhivaran. My father, the only breadwinner, got hurt in an accident. He was working in a private firm. My mom is a homemaker. I am at crossroads now. My mom has taken my dad to Nagercoil. I need to stay in a ladies’ hostel to continue my studies. Could you please consider my request favorably and release a scholarship till I complete my XII public exam – successfully. I hope to avail a Bank loan after I get my results.
Awaiting your favorable reply,Yours sincerely,
S. Ritika
