Dear Dad!
Today is your birthday, Dad. Since early morning, Mom went to the market to buy food, ordered a cake, bought gifts to celebrate your special day. Mom's preparations make it feel like you are at home. I asked, 'Is Dad on a business trip, Mom?' Mom said, 'It's okay, even without Dad, the whole family still celebrates Dad's birthday.' Dad's birthday party was very joyful. First, Mom announced the reason, lit the candles, then blew them out again, everyone had beautiful wishes for Dad.
For me personally, I deeply miss you, Dad, so I'm writing this letter to let you know that everyone wants to express their feelings for you, wishing you another year filled with blessings. Can you feel that, Dad? Oh! What time is it in the UK now, Dad? What are you doing? Are you well? Is your work going smoothly? I believe that no matter how tough it gets, my dad will always succeed.
On your birthday, Dad, I sincerely wish you good health, success in your work. I also convey to you all the love that every member of our family sends to you. Have a good night, Dad.
Your daughter Ly Na

Dear Sister Yen!
Yesterday, Mom mentioned you and Thao. Especially, Mom mentioned your birthday, saying she's too busy this year to go to Dalat to celebrate your birthday. So, I'm writing this poem to inquire about your health, Thao's goodness. Specifically for you, I wish you a birthday full of joy and good health.
I'm delighted to have a sister who's filial to our parents, loving to her husband and children, achieving academically, and living well with friends like you.
This year's birthday, you have several sources of great joy: successfully defending your Master's thesis, Thao growing up prettier and healthier... So, I must wish you another year of spring with many achievements in work and study. I have to learn a lot from you.
Once again, I wish you a happy, healthy, and joyful birthday.
Your sister

Dear Hong Anh,
So, this year you're celebrating your 24th birthday in Singapore. Yesterday, Mom and Dad mentioned, asking if my birthday celebration this year was fun. Did your friends attend? On your behalf, I told them that you and your friends took a cable car to the beach to relax and celebrate your birthday at a restaurant serving Vietnamese dishes. Mom and Dad laughed, saying I was 'bold'! Is it true, though? Write me in detail so I can learn while organizing my own birthday.
Far from home, without Mom and Dad and missing you, but having many friends attending must be very enjoyable, right? Tomorrow when you return, we'll organize a lively birthday party to make Mom and Dad happy. Although I've imagined a few details of your birthday, when you receive this poem, please write detailed about that day for me, the more you write, the better.
Now, allow me to stop writing and wish you happiness, health, and progress in your studies. They are precious gifts for Mom, Dad, and me.
Your brother's

Dear Aunt Ut!
So it's been over two months since you went to study far from home, I miss you so much, are you well, Aunt? Are you eating enough? Are you stressed with your studies? Do you have a lot of homework, Aunt? This year, you're away from home for your birthday, Aunt, are you sad? Are you celebrating your birthday with friends? Mom said she would send gifts to you and transfer money for you to have a small birthday party with friends, but Grandpa said no. Grandpa said, 'Students away from home should focus on studying to get used to it. Not having a birthday party for a year won't hurt.' Mom worries you might be sad. As for me, I'm writing this letter to wish you a happy birthday. Whether you have a birthday party or not, you're still getting older. Another year marks a significant milestone for you: you've become a student in your favorite field - Pharmacy, right, Aunt? Don't be sad about being away from home, Aunt! The whole family is proud of you. Grandpa also misses you a lot, he's strict but he said, 'Let Dad buy a gift for the youngest, Dad is sure she will like it.' Grandpa didn't say what the gift was, it's really exciting, Aunt.
