Sample Opening:

Dear Cousin Jonathan,

Many moons have passed since I wrote a letter to you. It is better late than never is it not? How are your parents back home? I hope
everyone is hale and hearty. It was truly exhilarating when I received gifts from you and your family. It was a joyous moment indeed and I
would like to tip my hat to everyone who contributed towards the gift. As they say absence makes the heart grow fonder, I have truly
missed all of you. In hopes to have a great reunion, my family and I are planning to organize a party belatedly to celebrate my birthday.
