A friend of yours recently gave you a nice birthday present Write a letter to your friend In your letter Thank her for the present and say why you like it Describe some other presents that you received explain some of the things you did on your birthday

Dear Anne,

I am writing this letter to thank you for the lovely birthday present. For the past few days I was looking to buy myself a speaker. However, the same was never on stock. Your birthday gift came as a surprise and it was just something that I wanted - A beautiful wireless speaker. I am very happy with the gift and cannot thank you enough.

Let me explain in detail some of the other presents I received on my birthday. Firstly, my parents gifted me a beautiful dress. I wore the same for the party in the evening. Also, my brother flew in from India and got me a limited edition wrist watch. It is golden in color and has a black dial. In addition, the metallic straps can be adjusted according to the size of the wrist. However, the biggest surprise was the party in the evening which was thrown by my friends. My mom took me out of the house on the pretext of shopping, while my friends arranged the party in the backyard. I had no idea whatsoever.

Overall, I enjoyed my birthday. It is customary in my house to cut the cake at midnight followed by opening the gifts. I attended my birthday party in the evening along with my friends and family. We also had a magician at the party to entertain the guests. His performance was amazing and we all were mind blown with his tricks.

I am looking forward to meeting you during the holidays.

Your Friend,
Katie
