Dear Beloved Dad!
Today is 11/2 already, and tomorrow is your birthday. I heard Mom say that this time you're busy with work at the construction site and can't come home. So, I'm writing this letter to inquire about your health and wish you a happy birthday.
Is Dad doing well at the construction site? Is the weather there very cold? Remember to eat plenty and wear warm clothes. Don't do too much heavy lifting, or your back might start hurting again. Mom and I at home are doing well, always looking forward to you coming back so we can gather around the dinner table to enjoy the delicious dishes Mom makes.
This year, Dad turns 39, and I wish you a new age filled with good health, happiness, and being a strong pillar for the whole family. I hope you stay safe and successful in your work so you can return to us soon. I have to go study now, so I'll stop writing here. When you come back, I'll give you a back massage to relieve any back pain. I love you, Dad!

Dear Beloved Dad!
Today, heavy rain is pouring at home, reminiscent of the days when Dad wore his raincoat to pick me up after school. Today is also Dad's birthday, and I want to write a birthday letter to him, but I wonder when he'll receive my wishes after these rainy days.
The rain is like the sadness within me; I feel a bit down on the days when Dad is away. However, just a phone call with Dad, even if Mom does it, brightens my spirit like the sun after the rain. At home, Mom and I have planted a lot of lettuce; I'll take good care of them so that when Dad comes home, we can make a birthday feast with pho rolls, Dad's favorite! The final exams are approaching, and I'll study diligently to earn an outstanding result, a birthday gift to Dad.
In closing, I wish Dad lots of health, everlasting optimism, and fond memories of both of us!

Hey Dad! It's me!
Your beloved Feathered Friend is here, and today he's bringing a surprise gift just for you. Since you're not at home on your birthday, I thought of writing this letter accompanied by a special song and the warmest wishes for you. Please, Dad, listen up:
'Happy birthday Papa! Happy birthday Papa! Wishing my dad another year of strength, improved health, overflowing happiness, and resounding success!' What do you think of your son's wishes, Dad? If you like them, don't forget to 'like' and 'share' with your colleagues at work.
