Dear Harshit, I hope
this
letter finds you in good well-being.
Firstly
, your package came as a surprise to me. I am writing
this
letter to thank you for sending the perfect birthday gift.
Secondly
, I am particularly overwhelmed with it because of my predilection for the colour pink. It was indeed a kind and genial gesture. On my birthday, We had a trivial gathering at home. I received a lot of offerings from my pals
such
as a gun massager, a watch, a few outfits, some accessories, etc. Ever since I received the laptop, I have been flaunting it to everyone. Despite the communication gap, you understood my needs so well.
Furthermore
, the laptop will not only help me with my education but
also
will be my overseas companion. If you ever get a chance, please come to Canada and visit me. It was iniquitous of you to not be a part of my special day.
In addition
, you missed out on a lot of fun. We ate pizzas, and
also
we danced to the latest Bollywood hits. We were extremely exhausted,
nevertheless
, we even played dumb charades. It was thoroughly a fun-filled evening. I cannot wait to hear from you. Yours Sincerely, Ruchi.
