Dear Anuj,
Hope this letter finds you in high spirits! Now that your annual exams are over, I am writing to invite you to spend a fortnight of your summer vacation with us in Shimla.
The weather here is pleasant, and we can go trekking in the pine hills, visit the historical Ridge, and enjoy delicious local food. My parents are also eagerly waiting to see you.
Do confirm your travel dates so I can pick you up from the railway station.
With love,
Karan

Dear Mom and Dad,
I am settling in well at Lovedale! The campus is surrounded by misty tea gardens and looks like a postcard.
On my first day, my room warden introduced me to my three dormmates, who are very friendly. We had warm soup in the dining hall and spent the evening playing football. Although I missed home initially, the welcoming atmosphere made me feel comfortable.
Don't worry about me. I will write again next Sunday!
Your loving son,
Aarav
Affectionate family salutation.

Dear Rahul,
It was great talking to you on the phone yesterday. However, I felt concerned when you mentioned that you spend over six hours daily playing mobile video games.
Excessive screen time causes severe eye strain, poor posture, and disrupts sleep cycles. I strongly suggest you limit gaming to one hour and take up an outdoor sport like badminton or cycling instead.
Take care of your health!
Your true friend,
Siddharth

Dear Uncle Vijay,
Thank you so much for the magnificent box set of Jules Verne sci-fi novels you sent for my 16th birthday! It was the best surprise I received.
I have already finished reading 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea', and I was completely spellbound by the story. Your choice of books is always fantastic.
Thank you once again for your love and thoughtful gift.
Affectionately yours,
Rohan
