Dear {Your Friend Name}

          I hope this letter finds you in the best of spirits. It's time we exchanged greetings, for our nations will soon be celebrating the fifty-fifth Independence Day. My friends and I of Himalayan Academy, Rajganj would like to express our spirit of brotherhood and oneness on the occasion of the Independence Day.

May the internal and communal disturbances give way to religious tolerance, harmony and space. Since you are in a residential school, I suppose we will be celebrating it with a sense of patriotic discipline.

          Let's nourish the spirit of Solidarity for now and all times to come.

Your loving friend,

Dear {Your Name}

          It was wonderful to see your letter in my mail box. As you rightly said, the future month August will soon see us marching for the Independence Day parade in our school as well as on the streets leading to the Governor's House.

          The rehearsal session has started and we have little time to spare for other activities. Truly we have to moti- vate our little ones with patriotic favour and enthusiasm. Our country has withstood external aggressions and internal conflicts. We need to stand united in all such circumstances. I'm grateful to you for kindling the spirit of an ideal child as we would all be tomorrow's citizens.

          Hope Martha is fine. I conclude this letter like a typical citizen of an honourable country.
