Solution
314, Nehru Nagar,
Agra,
31st March 2015.
Dear Aunt Tulip,
You will be glad to know that I will award a special prize at my school's annual prize day ceremony. I have secured full marks in science and maths in all three terms among all five sections of the eighth class. Therefore, I have been chosen for this honour. The name of the prize is the Archbishop Gold Memorial Award for the best student in Physics and Maths. The prize carries a gold medal and a scholarship of Rs. 2500.
The best thing about the affair is that I will receive it from our former president, Shri A P J Abdul Kalam, an eminent scientist and visionary. He is the chief guest on the annual prize day this year. I am very excited and thrilled about my achievement, plus receiving the honour from the hands of such a great personality.
I also feel thankful from the bottom of my heart to my teachers, God, and my parents, whose support and guidance enabled me to achieve this success. Furthermore, I also need your wishes and blessings for my life ahead. Please convey my regards to my uncle and my love to Aryan.
Your nephew,
Arpit.
