Dear Professor Smith,
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to you for your unselfish assistance given to me during my preparation for the College Entrance Examination. Without your tremendous support and continuous encouragement, I would have never entered my ideal college.
It goes without saying that it is your enlightening guidance that ushers me into the academic world. Otherwise, I would wander everyday holding no aims in life. For one thing, your care and love made me melt into the whole class, which brought dramatic changes to me. I started to reflect on the true essence of life and set a goal for my study. For another, your help and support in my study unleashed the enormous potential in me which made me readily indulge in the sea of knowledge. Accordingly, I fulfilled my dream.
In a word, my appreciation to you is beyond words. It is really an honor for me to be your student and I will always bear your guidance and scholar spirit in mind. Best wishes!

Yours sincerely,
Derek

Dear Li Ming,
I’m writing this letter to express my deep thanks to you for helping me out when I failed in my first college entrance examination.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was the worst time of my life when I completely lost the faith in my life and began to abandon myself. Then you came to encourage me not to give up. It was you who convinced me that the failure to college entrance examination should not be the end of my efforts and that I should pull myself together to give myself a second chance; otherwise, I would become a real loser.
Thanks to such a frank friend as you, I restored my confidence, and finally fulfilled my college dream. Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart, my dear friend. Best wishes!

Yours sincerely,
Mary

Dear Dad,
With Father’s Day approaching, I’m writing this letter to give my thanks and love to you for supporting me in serving as a volunteer for teaching in a rural area, which is a memorable achievement in my life.
Firstly of all, thank you for your trust that I can take good care of myself and support for me to do meaningful things, which made the experience possible. Secondly, I’d like to thank you for your encouragement when I was frustrated with the tough living conditions there. What you told me about learning from hardships not only made me ashamed of myself but also inspired me to persist. Last but not least, thank you for your immediate visit at the news that I fell ill during the service. Not until that time did I realize how important I am in your heart.
I became much more mature after this voluntary experience. More importantly, I got to know what a great father I have. Thank you for teaching me to grow up. Love you!

Yours,
Sweetheart
