November 5, 2006 Dear Grandmother, The blouse you sent me for my birthday is really nice. It suits me all right, and I like the colours very much. I was wearing it at my birthday-party and all the guests told me it was very becoming. Thank you for remembering my birthday in such a nice way. Your Granddaughter Rachel.

April 23, 2007 Dear Carmen, Thank you so much for the absolutely fantastic week-end we spent at your place. We enjoyed every minute of it. We don’t think we shall ever forget our visit to the Lake District and those unbelievable views of the place. Be sure you will get the pictures we took during our trip. Love, your friends Alice and Rose.
