Dear Mrs. Zago,
　　I really don’t know how to thank you enough for your flowers, which turned our living room into a beautiful garden. How considerate and wonderful of you to remember my birthday. You just couldn’t have selected anything I had have liked more! You really have a positive genius for selecting the right gift!
　　The four years we spent together at the college have been the most impressive period in my life. I will cherish this fond memory forever. How nice it would be to see you again.
　　You have been more than kind, and I won’t ever forget it. My love and deepest gratitude, now and always.

　　Yours sincerely,
　　John Smith

　　I shall be obliged if you will kindly write and tell me when and where we can meet again. I hope to see you soon.

　　Yours sincerely,
　　John Smith

Dear Al,
　　Much to my regret, I have to cancel our trip to Tibet at the last minute. I understand you have put so much work into arranging this party.
　　I felt very bad about having to fly to Beijing to attend an urgent business meeting there. I hope this bouquet of flowers can do a little to make up for the disappointment.
　　Once again, I am sorry for any inconvenience caused. I think we can visit sometime in autumn this year.

　　Yours,
