Dear Diệu Huyền,
It's been quite a while since we last communicated, ever since you and your family moved to Da Nang. How is your family doing these days? Everyone is well, I hope. As for me, everything is going great over here. This year, my family welcomed a new member, Mon - my younger brother. Looking forward to hearing back from you. Wishing you peace and happiness always!

Hello Mai Phương!
It's been almost two years since my family moved. It's been a long time since we last met. Is everyone in your family still healthy and safe? Any challenges with your studies, Phương? For me, transitioning to a new school felt quite strange initially. However, I have now adapted and made many good friends in class, Phương.
Your birthday is coming up soon, and I wish you joy, beauty, and peace.
Your friend,

Dear beloved dad,
For the past year, due to work commitments, you couldn't come home often, and we all miss you a lot. How's life in Saigon, dad? At home, mom and my two siblings are still in good health. Last semester, I was honored with the Excellent Student title, dad. I hope you'll arrange your schedule and come home soon. I wish you success in your work, good health, and safety, dad.
