Dear Malia,
It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. I know it’s only been several weeks. So far
my summer has been great!
I spend all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can no longer say I am paler
than you. I have been playing lots of volleyball, surfing and building a nice collection of sea
shells. Just this past weekend I took second place in a sandcastle building contest!
I hope the summer’s been going well for you too. There’s only a month and a half left in summer
vacation and after that it’s back to school. Would you like to meet up some time before school
starts?
Your Friend

Dear Samantha,
How are you? It’s been months since we met but you are remembered quite often in our household.
At last, the summer vacations are on the threshold. It is a wonderful opportunity for us and our
husbands to relax and rejuvenate ourselves away from the city’s hustle-bustle. Remember last year’s
holidays? How much fun it was? Henry and I are still nostalgic about our last holiday together. Its
cheerful memories linger on. Henry has already charted out a wonderful holiday trip. He says let’s
proceed to the hills. What do you say? Our parents and kids, in fact the entire family, are hopeful of
our trip together. Our two families can spend great and enjoyable time together.
I know how keen you and Kevin are for travel. So I hope you will accept my invitation and give me
immense happiness by confirming.
Need I say at all that your company is always a pleasure? Remember, you had promised to spend it
with us.
I am very anxious for your response. We are all very excited about the trip, in fact and look forward
to it.
Warmest regards,
Helena

Dear Joanne,
I really want to thank you for all of the trouble you went to entertaining the entire family over the
past holiday season
I know that you organize these holiday gatherings because you enjoy doing it and you love to have
everyone get together at your place. Nevertheless, I just want to make sure that you understand
how much the rest of us appreciate everything you do to make these get-togethers happen.
Having helped Susan organize a few much smaller social gatherings over the years I know how much
work is involved. I realize how much planning and preparation you must have to do each and every
year so that the entire extended family and assorted friends and acquaintances have a happy and
fun holiday celebration. It's amazing really, that you are able to do such a great job, year after year,
in parallel with your other duties, both as a mom and an active volunteer worker!
So Joanne, on behalf of everyone I want to express my sincere thanks to you for all that you do to
assemble and entertain us during the holiday season. You really are the glue that holds our extended
family together!
John.
