Write a letter to your uncle telling him that you missed him badly but were more than compensated for getting this valuable gift.

Answer

220, GK Road
Bengaluru
28th May, 20XX
Dear Uncle
My eyes were searching for someone in the crowd of well-wishers celebrating my birthday. Really, I missed you on that auspicious occasion. However, when the courier brought a parcel, I felt relieved. You didn't forget my birthday. What a pleasant surprise! It was really a wonderful gift that I could have ever had on my birthday. 'Life and Ideas of Vivekananda' is a great book. You know that Swami Vivekananda is my ideal. That great saint and thinker of India gave the message of Vedantism to the USA and the Western world in the late 19th century. The book will be a source of inspiration for me in my life. Thank you again for sending me this wonderful gift on my birthday. Pay my respect to Aunty and love to young Kushal.
With Love
Yours Affectionately
Manjunatha/Manglesh

$16^{th} $ November $20XX$
Dear Govind
Hope your trip to Hong Kong was full of fun. While you were away on your vacation, our th school celebrated $14^{th}$ November Children's Day as a school fete. All the children along with their class teachers were very excited. We started planning about one week in advance. Each section of the class had to plan out one food stall and one game stall. This way, from classes Nursery to $XII,$ all had to compulsorily participate in the fete. The active children of our class were given duties at the stalls. Our class-teacher, Juhi ma'am, decided to keep the Lucky draw and Bhelpuri stall. For Bhelpuri, boys had to bring Murmura and green chutney and girls were asked to bring boiled potatoes, tomatoes and onions cut from home and also chaat masala. Juhi ma'am taught us how to make Bhelpuri in our $S.U.E W.$ period well in advance. And for the lucky draw, we collected $15/-$ per member and wrote their names, phone number along with their addresses. We had planned 3 gift hampers containing lots of cold drink cans, wafer biscuits, chocolates, juices, chips, kurkure, etc. Each hamper had 999/- worth items. The lucky draw was taken out towards the end of the day. Juhi ma'am made me the cashier to collect money for the lucky draw. I had collected nearly $9699/-$ and our Bhelpuri stall was also a great success. We were selling each plate for $15/-$. This way we made a collection of $₹ 5999/-$ from Bhelpuri too
Overall, we collected $19999/-$ the highest among all sections. This amount was then kept for the donation to Shishu Bhawan, for a good cause. I wish you were here. We all enjoyed a lot on that busy day, playing a lot of games and eating lots of food. I missed you a lot. Hoping to see you soon.
Yours lovingly
Rajni
