Dear Nadia,
I was overjoyed to read in the newspaper that you have passed the S.S.C. examination with GPA 5. Please accept my heartiest congratulations on your brilliant success.
I always knew you would do well, for you worked really hard throughout the year and never wasted your time. Your result is the sweet reward of that patience and labour, and it has made your parents and teachers truly proud. All of us who know you are delighted for you.
I hope you will keep up the same effort in college and shine even brighter in the H.S.C. examination. Success like yours inspires friends like me to study harder.
No more today. Give my warm regards to your parents. Write to me soon and tell me which college you are going to join.
Yours ever,
Farhana
