My dear Brother 
I received your letter yesterday. I have come to know that you are very anxious about me regarding my studies. 
My half-yearly examinations are over. I have got the progress report. I have secured distinction marks in English, Hindi and Social Studies. However, I have not secured good marks in Science and Mathematics. I face difficulty in these subjects. I am working hard to improve these subjects. I have joined a coaching institute to remove difficulty in these subjects. I hope I will farewell in the ensuing Board Examinations. 
Your blessings will encourage me. Please pay my regards to Bhabhiji and love to baby. 
With regards 
Your loving sister 
Reeta

My dear Aamir
I am pained to receive a very bad report about you from your Principal that you have joined a bad company. You do not attend the classes regularly. You are careless about your studies.
You should avoid the company of bad boys. You should play games in the evening. You should study till 10 p.m. You should read news-paper daily. You should attend the classes regularly.
If you do not work hard, you will fail. You will lose one valuable year of your life. I hope that I will not hear anything against you a future.
Your loving brother
Prakash
