Dear Mallika,

               I hope you are doing great in your life. As you know my result will be out within a month. I have done well in all my papers. I am confident of getting more than 90 percent marks in all my subjects. But I was a little bit confused about what to choose as a profession - to be a doctor or an engineer and fortunately, it reminded me of you and all my doubts were cleared as you have always been an inspiration in my life.

               You know I have a great fascination for a career in medical science. I have been good at science since childhood. Besides, a doctor is the custodian of national health. He helps the suffering humanity, all these factors helped me in deciding my career in the field of medical science and be a doctor. You being a doctor have gathered a lot of experience, received love and affection from your patients and their family. This is something that impressed me and helped me in taking my career decision.

             I trust your judgment more than my own. Please let me know your thoughts on this subject. You are someone who seems to know right from wrong. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for letting me express my concerns to you.

Yours lovingly,
XYZ.
