. 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
2. A Thank-You Letter to My Grandmother
Dear Granny,
On this special day of Thanksgiving, memories about you flood into my mind. How I regret that I’m now thousands of miles away from you and can’t taste your delicious Thanksgiving dinner! I can never forget the years of eating your good cooking. On this special occasion, I want to tell you granny how I appreciate your teaching me to tell the truth, to share, and to be forgiving and to considerate of others. These qualities make me so popular among others. And I also want to thank you for sprinkling my life with beautiful dreams!
Please take good care. I’ll return to see you soon.
Much Love,
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
