Dear Uncle,

Received your letter with the greetings and gift sent by you on my birthday. It is really a pleasant surprise to me and my parents and brother liked it very much. I thank you so much for your kindness and care.

You have sent me a real great gift. I am badly in need of a good watch and your present is a timely act. Now, I can wake up early with the help of the alarm setting and prepare myself well for my examinations and routine college work. I couldn’t find words to express my gratitude.

Convey my regards to Aunty and kids.

Yours affectionately

J.Geetha
