Dear Aunt Mary,
What a beautiful Christmas gift you sent me! A fitted bag is something I’ve wanted for a long time, but could never get for myself.
Thank you so much, Aunt Mary, I’ll have the bag for years and years, and I’ll think of you with gratitude and affection every time I use it.
Lovingly yours,
Ruth

Dear Ms. Li Li,

The cups with saucers are exquisite—and we think it was wonderful of you to remember that collecting china is our hobby.
Many thanks to you for your thoughtful and generous gift, and our best wishes to you for the New Year!
Sincerely yours,
