Hanoi, [day] [month] [year]
Dear beloved grandparents!
I am Phuong, daughter of mother Oanh! At the beginning of this letter, I send my best wishes for health to you, grandparents, and to all aunts and uncles in the hometown. Yesterday, I heard the news about the storm hitting the province of Thai Binh, where our hometown is located, and I am extremely worried. Last night, after talking to my mother on the phone, I learned that our hometown was heavily affected by the storm, so I am writing this letter to inquire about you, grandparents, and everyone else in the hometown.
This storm is very severe, with strong winds reaching hundreds of kilometers per hour, accompanied by heavy rain for many days. Are the houses of you, grandparents, and everyone else sturdy and safe? Has the heavy rain flooded your fields and vegetable gardens? If there is anything you need help with, please remember to call our aunts and uncles. This weekend, my father and I will arrange to come back to the hometown to inquire about everyone's situation and help you, grandparents, clean up after the storm. I also really want to come back to you, grandparents, but I have to take care of my younger sibling while my mother works, so I can't come back. Please don't be sad, grandparents. After my exams, I will ask my mother to allow both me and my sister to come back to the hometown to visit you and have fun with you!
The letter from me has been long enough, so I will end it here. I sincerely wish you, grandparents, and everyone else good health, and together we will overcome this storm.
Granddaughter of grandparents
Lan Phuong

Ha Dong, [day] [month] [year]
Beloved grandparents!
Another storm has returned to my hometown in Nghe An, and I deeply worry about grandparents but don't know what to do. I'm left with no choice but to sit here writing these lines, inquiring about the health of grandparents, and encouraging them and everyone in the hometown to stay strong.
I know this is a very strong storm, with intense rain and thunder for many days. I still remember vividly last summer when I visited grandparents, just one afternoon storm with strong winds made the roof of grandparents' house creak. Have you reinforced the house to withstand this storm, grandparents? While the home is a refuge, if you feel unsafe, please go to Uncle Nam's house in the neighboring hamlet for safety.
As I'm still young, I can't help much. I will send all the breakfast money I've saved to my parents to bring back to the hometown to help grandparents repair and clean up the house after the storm. I love and miss grandparents very much, and I promise that when I finish my studies and have a long break, I will ask my parents to allow me to come back to visit grandparents. Take care of your health, grandparents!
From afar,
Lan Huong

Ha Nam, [day] [month] [year]
Beloved grandmother!
Dear grandmother! While watching the news program tonight, I saw the coverage of Typhoon No. 3. Seeing the torrential rain flooding the fields of our homeland deeply saddens me. I think of you, grandmother, and Auntie, wondering if you are greatly affected. My parents and I here are deeply concerned. Our home here is sturdy and safe, but our homeland suffers from storms every year, causing crops to be lost and homes to be swept away.
I wish to be with you and Auntie immediately, but circumstances do not permit. All I can do is encourage you, grandmother, to persevere, to overcome hardships and safely weather the storm. I hope Auntie will be able to evacuate the pigs and chickens to avoid losses.
After the storm passes and the sky clears, please instruct Auntie to buy disinfectant to clean the house to avoid the dirt from rainwater and floodwater causing illness.
I love and miss you dearly, grandmother. I will come to you as soon as possible. Please wait for me!
