Hope this letter finds you in the best of health. Uncle, with my exams over and with the long wait for the results, I thought I could spend my summer holidays with you, aunt and brothers Ramu and Raju in the fields and plantation in the village.
It would be very refreshing after my exam and I am looking forward to put my hands to work. Shall I be there on Sunday? My father will drop me at the village.

3. Write a letter to your friend telling about how your house was burgled when your family was away on a holiday. (*^)
Answer:
36, Gandhi Road
Chennai – 45
04 August 2018
Dear Ramesh,
How are you? I feel sad to inform you that my house was burgled last week when I was on a holiday. Burglars might have known from the accumulated newspaper pile that I had gone away. When I came back last Sunday, I found the back-door lock broken. I could have forgotten to bolt the back-door from inside and they should have entered through it. My room was ransacked. They took my laptop and other valuables. I must have deposited the jewellery in a bank locker to avoid this loss. I should have informed my neighbours about my week-long trip. Well, I have registered an FIR with the police. They are investigating the case. They have assured that I would get my jewels back. The burglars will be caught very soon. Convey my regards to all at home.
Yours lovingly,
Murali
