Dear Mary,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for your help when I was in difficulty. You have been very kind and helpful since we knew each other.
Last week, I caught a bad cold and had to stay at home for a week. When I was worrying about the lessons, you came to my home after school and helped me with every subject. With your help, I didn’t fall behind others.
Again, thanks so much for your enthusiastic help. Even though you are to about to go abroad for further education I know that I will always stay in touch with you, I wish you every success in the future and I hope we can exchange more viewpoints on study.
Please keep in touch, and drop in and visit us whenever you are in this part of the world.
Very sincerely
Peter
