4. 遭遇水灾的慰问
Dear Alison,
We have just learned from the national media reports that your town suffered from a heavy loss in the flood. We felt very sorry. Nevertheless, I was most relieved to learn that none of your family members suffered from seri ous injury. We just want to tell you that all of us here will be delighted to give you our supporting hands and will always be ready for that.
If you need some help from us, please feel free to call us. We are sending a check of $4000 by airmail.
Sincerely yours, Jasmine
Dear Jasmine,
Thanks a lot for your considerate regarding. Since we have made sound preparations before the flood, we have co nstructed a cofferdam, our town did not suffer as heavily as have been reported on the TV programs. We have to f ace such a rainy season this time each year, so most villagers are well aware of the damages it may cause. As a res ult, we make early and sound preparations to avoid such damages. And we did it this time. Anyway, thanks for yo ur kindness again!
Best wishes, Alison Dear Jasmine,
Thank you very much for your generous donations. Though the flood was serious, we did not suffer heavy damag es this time. Before the flood, the local broadcasting has foretold the weather. And most of the residents have mov ed to safer places beforehand. Only some old folks suffered a bit because they refuse to leave the flood-stricken ar ea. Anyway, we managed to save them and have them moved to a nearby hotel in the upper land before the collap se of their houses. So, please feel rest assured that your donation will be of some help for them.
Thanks again! Alison
5. 失恋慰问
Dear Jessie,
I just heard you and Mary broke up,which is really sad. You like her so much, I can understand your feelings now. I hope you will not be too sad. Unhappy things in life happen all the time, which can only prove that the person be st suited is not there. Believe that time will be the best antidote, which can help you to forget her sooner or later. I
hope you can now cheer up pretty soon. Our group of friends has been at your side, I'll accompany you at any time if you need me.
Yours, Robin
Dear Robin,
Thank you for your concern. As what you have said, I'm still immersed in grief. I admit that I still can not forget Mary. She was a girl that I really like, and I once thought we would always be together. But now I can only try to persuade myself to forget her. Maybe it is a difficult process, but there is no way to go back to us. I only hope she is happy in the future.
Yours Jessie
Dear Robin,
Thank you for your concern and help this time. Without your accompany, I really do not know how to spend this t ime. I can't help remembering her smile these days. But I clearly know that we never can go back. From now on I will concentrate on my work, so please do not worry too much about me.
Yours, Jessie
6. 慰问晚辈
Dear Liuliu,
I am sorry to hear that you have been ill for days and hope you have been better now. I know you learn hard and h ave no time for exercise, which is harmful for your health. You have been in poor health these years. I feel it woul d be more beneficial for you to take more exercise in the future.
You have to learn that time in exercise is not wasted. Exercise can improve your physical constitution and refresh the mind. Only when you have a strong body can you keep on studying without fatigue feeling. Otherwise your st udy will be interrupted from time to time by fatigue or sickness.
Of course, I am not advising you to devote all your time to exercise and I hope that you spare one or two hours to do exercise every day. Then, you will make double efforts in learning. I would be very happy to see you have a str onger body.
Sincerely yours, Li Yun
Dear Miss Li,
Thank you very much for your concern. I am better now. I believe in the near future I can go back to school. Beca use of the illness I have a lot of homework to do. Immediately the final examination is coming, so I am very anxio us. I want to go back to school and hope that you can give me extra lessons. I normally do very little exercise, and the sickness gave me a lesson, and then I will do more exercise later.
Yours, Liuliu
Dear Miss Li,
During this period you worry about me too much. Thank you for your help and care. Thank you for arranging a go od student to help me in my study, so I would't fall behind too much with others. I also recognize that a healthy b ody is very important to my study, so I will follow teachers' advice to do more excises. Please do not worry too m uch about me. I am better now, and the doctor says that I could go back to school in a week. I miss you and the cla ssmates very much. I want to return to school as soon as possible.

Dear Robin,
I was grieved to hear of Maureen's passing away. Please accept my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Maureen was a good friend to me while we shared the same apartment at Peking University. What impressed most is her active attitude towards life, her generous nature, and warm feelings towards those who required her help. Bu t above all, I shall mostly miss her for her wonderful sense of responsibility which had always made our days safe and sound.
I again feel deeply sorrowful at the news of Maureen's passing. My family and I send our love and our assurance o f devoted friendship now. Should you need any help with the arrangements or anything else I can do, please infor m me.
Yours truly, Daisy

Wish you good health! Yours sincerely, Robin
