                      When we are away from home, we write letters to our parents, friends and
                     relatives.


             We also receive letters from people who             Note
             are far away from us.                               The use of punctuation in a letter is optional. If we

                Dear Kanchan
                Thank you very much for the lovely gift you sent me for my birthday. I had
                asked Daddy to buy me The New Children’s Encyclopaedia last month. Now
                I am glad that he didn’t!
                I had a small birthday party at home this year. I invited Ravi, Shweta, Pinky
                and a few of my neighbours. All of them came to the party. We really missed
                you! We remembered all the exciting times we used to have before you moved
                to Hyderabad.
                How is your new school? Have you made many friends? Do write to me when
                you have settled down properly.
                Thanks once again for the gift! Do give my regards to Uncle and Aunty.

                Mummy and Daddy send their best wishes to them.

                Your loving friend
                Priyanka
