Respected Uncle,
I wish to thank you for the gift of Rs. 1,000 that you have promised to give me if I score.above 80% in iny final exams. This incentive is pushing me to study very hard and give my hundred percent.
My situation has become like counting the chicks before they are hatched as I have already thought about what I am going to do with the money. I will buy two novels by J.K. Rowling. After the exams, in the vacations I will read them. This will improve my reading speed, vocabulary and English as well.
With the remaining money, I will get my printer repaired which is out of order at the moment. I need to get it repaired to do the project-work in the next class. Thus, I will use the money you gift me appropriate. Please wish me luck so that I can do well in my exams and you may keep your promise.
Your lovingly,
