My Dear Ravi,

I am glad to receive your letter after a long time. You wanted to know about the fair that I attended.

The previous month, I along my three friends went to see a fair which was held around three kilometers away from my home. We reached the fair in the morning. We saw a temporary market in the middle of the open space. There were all kinds of shops arranged in rows. The people from the neighboring towns and cities were pouring in there to buy their needs. The people seemed very happy. They were in their best dresses. The number of women was greater than that of men. The children were buying sweets and toys. We enjoyed the tricks of jugglers and rode on merry go round. 

In the evening we returned home. We brought many toys for our younger sisters and brothers. I request you to come next time and enjoy this fair with us.

With best wishes and kind regards,

Your affectionate friend,
Arjun

Dear Puneet,

I am sorry I have not been able to write to you earlier. I met your mother yesterday. She told me that you are always busy with your books and never take part in the games.

Puneet your hard work depends upon your health. Health is wealth. A sound mind lives in a sound body. Playing games is as important as studying so don't only be a bookworm. I hope you will now be careful about your general health and take part actively in outdoor games like cricket, football, badminton or tennis.


Games are essential. They provide us fresh air and keep us healthy. They teach something which books can never teach. I hope you will take my advice seriously and will start playing games.

Your affectionate friend,
Raman

My dear Arun,

I was greatly shocked to hear the sad news of the untimely death of your dear father due to heart failure. Last time when I saw him, he was quite healthy. I never thought even in the dream that he would leave the world so soon.

You have really suffered an irreparable loss in his death. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself as your father had always been very kind to me. I do not know how to express myself on such an occasion. Man is helpless before God's will. My sympathies are with you in this hour of deep sorrow. 

May God grant peace to the departed soul and solace to the bereaved family.

Yours sincerely,
Hitesh

My dear Rakesh,

I have not received any letter from you for a long time. How are you getting on at school? I have received a bad report about you from your principal. He says that you always play with bad boys at the cost of your lessons.

As an elder brother, it is my duty to warn you in time. I wish to see you as an able young man. You were sent to school to learn, not to enjoy yourself. If you waste your time now, you will repent afterward. You must work hard and always keep away from bad boys.

I hope you will act upon my advice.

Your loving brother
Gaurav

Dear Father,

I am glad to receive your letter and to know that everything is going well at home.

I want to tell you that my studies are going on in full swing these days. You will be pleased to know that I have secured a very high percentage of marks in the half-yearly examination held in the month of September. I am quite certain of securing first division in the ensuing annual Examination.

I wish to say that I have to purchase a good dictionary and a few latest books on subjects like Physics and Mathematics. Therefore, I request you to kindly send me five thousand rupees by money order at your earliest.

Please convey my regards to mother and love to Neha and Tushar.


Your affectionate son,
Rahul
