Dear Aravind
I hope you are doing well. I strongly believe you are doing well in your studies as it is in my case. I have a special reason to write this letter.
It is all about a camp called Sishukshema organized by an NGO, in our school, last week. Child labour was spotlighted. It was illustrated in a lively way. They discussed cases of children who were not allowed to go to school and made to work in factories, hotels, and agricultural fields. We did really feel pity for them.
We are fortunate that we don’t have to face such situations. But the organization pointed out the need for our help and care for those who are not fortunate. So, we have decided to help them by providing them with books and fees. A special committee was formed in our school to raise funds for this, and I am the secretary of it.
I do hope that the students of your school also could definitely contribute to such a noble cause. Please share this with your friends and try to collect funds.
Convey my regards to my uncle and aunt.
Yours lovingly

Dear Ms Kalyani
I would like to wholeheartedly express my gratitude for the help extended by you during my board examination preparation. I was struggling to make out the grammar part of the paper. But your support and efforts made it a cakewalk. Thanks a lot, Miss, for your assistance and affection. You spent your valuable time with me to get me out of this trouble. I owe you a lot for that. You have been a great support in my life.
Now, I am confident that I can pass any competitive examination. I am sure, that if you stand with me, I can be successful in my career. I’ll always be obliged to you for your generosity.
Thanks a lot

Dear Vinay
I was so sorry to hear about your friend, Raghu Ram’s death. I know how close you both were. You were more than friends. He was one of your family. Please accept my deep sympathies on this irreplaceable loss.
Raghu Ram was very active and courageous. He took part in most of our community activities. He inspired me a lot. Many can take him as an inspiration. But he neglected his health, it seems. He should have been a bit careful regarding his health. I know, his death is a great loss in your life. Don’t hesitate to call me. I’m always here to help you.
May God bless you and Raghu Ram’s family with the strength to sail through this tough time. I hope to meet you this week. Please take care of your health and accept my sincere condolences.
With deep sympathies,
Yours truly

Hope you are doing well. I am sure that all our family members are fine. I am studying well in all subjects. I’m proud to have lovely parents like you and mom.
Now, it’s difficult to express the purpose of this letter, but it’s a must. You know, it’s time to pay the college term fee of Rs.15000. It would be helpful to me if you could send the money immediately. The principal has instructed me to pay the amount by 21st September without fail.
Hope Lakshman is studying well. Convey my regards to mom and granny

Dear uncle
Thank you so much for the wonderful gift that I received from you today. You know my tastes well. That’s why you gifted me a beautiful marble statue of Lord Buddha. I was rather disappointed to know that you are not attending my birthday party. But the statue of Buddha brought back a smile to my face. You are such a wonderful man. You are so careful and thoughtful in selecting an appropriate gift! Your gift symbolised your intention of preparing me mentally and physically to face the challenges of life.
I promise you that I’ll follow your guidance and put all my efforts to make you proud of me. Convey my regards to aunt and Kittu.
Looking forward to meeting you soon.

Dear Akash
How are you? It has been a long time since we communicated with each other. I think it is mainly because of the pandemic. With a heavy heart, I do write to you about the tragic death of our neighbour our uncle Dr Irfan khan with whom we used to play cricket and hang around. The end has been very painful. Covid-19 infection was detected rather late. The best efforts of expert doctors failed to save him.
Uncle was so friendly, so helpful that there was not a single soul in the colony that did not bid a tearful farewell to that noble soul. uncle’s son and daughter came forward to take care of the aunt.
Yet the pain resulting from that sudden and sad demise needs quite a long time to subside. Yet none can alter our fate except by accepting it gracefully.
Any plans to visit India?
Regards to all there

Dear Akash
I am just thrilled to tell you that I have secured the fifth position in the national-level innovation challenge competition.
The Ministry of Human Resources conducted this competition in the last month with a view to encouraging young minds to take up creative research. As you know well, I have a keen bent of mind for innovation. I crave fresh and new ideas, the moment I saw the notification. For this competition in February, I decided to participate in it. systematic and scientific smart work with the active support from our Physics lecturer saw to it that I achieved this distinction.
This honour encourages me to take up creative research as my full-time career I see immense potential in the field.

Dear sister
How are you hope you have adjusted to the hostel life and doing well there in your studies.
Through your letter to Mummy, I understand that you have been burning the midnight oil. Mummy adds that you are not really happy with your marks. She affirms that your work and the outcomes are out of proportion. It is here I feel like putting a word or two. what I understand is your toil is missing the right direction. Hard work is always important but smart work really matters. I advise you to read books beyond your syllabus. You may think you don’t find time for other books. If you have the will you will find a way. A good book first relieves you from the worry you suffer. It shows you the way to perform better. Once you taste the fruit of reading, you cannot stop yourself from reading life-changing books. This will surely change your attitude positively.
Bye for now, please take care of yourself and remember you have a brother in every situation

Sorry for the delay in replying to your letter. For the past twenty days we have been very busy with the arrangements for our College Silver Jubilee celebrations. At last, the programme ended on grand note the day before yesterday. Elaborate arrangements began a month earlier. As the Secretary of our college students union, I had to be responsible for quite a number of activities like cultural and sports competitions. Everything went off well. The concluding cultural extravaganza was the highlight. Group dances, solo folk performances, and patriotic songs touched everyone’s heart. The chief guest’s inspiring speech drew loud applause from one and all. Each student remembers the event for life. By the way, how are you doing in your studies? Let’s meet this weekend.
Yours lovingly

It is highly admirable that you and your team have been relentlessly working to save people from Covid-19-related complications. While the world dreads to just hear the word COVID, you have been reaching out to the infected persons and rendering Medical Services, knowing well the risks the work involves.
It is here that you and your team deserve heartfelt gratitude. It is worth mentioning that the village stands out in the entire state with a zero fatality rate in covid-19 cases credit goes to you all.
May God bless you all with more and more energetic enthusiasm.
Thanking you

Dear Uncle
Our ‘friends club’ is organising a massive blood donation camp on the 20th of this month. The collection arrangements are being taken care of by the Red Cross Society. we, the volunteers, have given wide publicity to the camp and the response to our call to donate blood is really encouraging. Our modest estimate shows not less than 200 people are going to donate blood on that day.
I have drawn inspiration from you in social services. You have always been great support and encouragement to me.
Now, I request your active guidance and support for this massive blood donation camp. as that day happens to be a Sunday, please do come. help us and encourage us.
Mom and dad also want to see you, for it has been a long since you visited us.
Looking forward to seeing you
