.A Thank-You Letter to My Dad
Dear Dad,
Here,this thanksgiving at sea,I find my thoughts upon how much you have done for me,but l have never stopped and said to you how much I feel the need to thank you.I want to thank you for giving me so much love and guidance in the past years!Particularly I want to thank you for leading me into the wonderful world of books since my boyhood.From then on,I loved reading very much.I was always so excited to talk about the stories I’d read and it was always so interesting to do the after-dinner quizzes too.
Reading inspired me so much that I always feel the urge to express myself too in writings.Now I’m on my way to become a good writer.All this has been made possible by you.No words can ever express my thanks and love to you.
Yours,
Alex

3.A Thank-You Letter to My Grammar School Principal
Dear Rev.Nelson,
I am writing to express my thanks to you during this special holiday of Thanksgiving.I am so grateful for your teaching and guidance for me when I was a boy student.I still remember how each morning you would open our little country town’s grammar school with a prayer.Whatever positive things I have done since have been influenced at least in part by your morning school prayers.Thank you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Your student,
Alex Haley
