Dear Uncle
 I hope all of you are keeping fine. I have not heard from you for a long time.

Recently, a friend of mine told me that an advanced laptop with high

configuration has been developed in the USA. I have heard that this laptop is
an improved version, with great number of unique features. I shall be
grateful to you if you can kindly bring one such laptop for me during your
next visit to us in UAE. Since this is an age of information technology, this
handy machine will help me greatly to keep abreast with new-age
technology.

Waiting eagerly for your reply. Convey my regards to everyone at home.

Hope to see you soon.

Yours affectionately
Smita
