dear john，
i am shocked to hear that you have a severe influenza and now are in hospital. i get this news from your mother and know you must be absent for half a month from the classes. do be careful while you are ill.
don’t worry about your lesson and i am willing to help you learn it when you return. we are best friends so i will never allow you to fall behind.
you can watch television or listen to radio programs to help pass the time and forget your pains while you recuperate. i do hope that i can see you soon and bring you some funny cartoons.
if there is anything you need me to do, just let me know. we all miss you and shall be happy when you are back.

Dear Mr. Gokhale,
I’m writing this letter to congratulate you on your new post in New Delhi. I am very delighted to hear of your promotion after three exciting and hardworking years in Chinese Taiwan. The diligence and enthusiasm contributed a great deal to the economic ties between India and Chinese Taiwan.
It has been a great pleasure and privilege for me to have had the opportunity of working closely with you over the past three years. You have been one of the most capable representatives in Chinese Taiwan. The cooperation and friendship that you so kindly extended to me has been most gratifying.
No doubt our paths will continue to cross from time to time, and I look forward to maintaining close contact with you in your new capacity. Likewise, please let me know if I can be of help in Taipei. At last, I would like, once again, to express my sincere gratitude for your efforts to improve India-Chinese Taiwan trade and investment exchange and cooperation, and I wish you a prosperous and successful future.
Sincerely yours,
June 29, 20__
Dear Bill,
What shocking news to me when I was told by Mr. Lewis that you could not pass the entrance examination. This means you have to wait for another year to attend the next entrance examination. I quite understand how you feel now. Still you have many more chances to try. So I hope that you will not take this to heart, and will get ready to try again. I am sure you will easily succeed next
Yours,
Elizabeth
