My dear sister
Let me first wish you a very Happy Birthday! You have no idea how disappointed I am for not being able to be with you on your birthday. I hope the day is filled with joy. I wish you good health and a whole lot of happiness for the years to come.
I am sending a hamper along with this letter . I hope you like what I have bought for you. You know how I am stuck with my exams. I promise to rush back home and celebrate your birthday with you once my exams get over. I have only two more days to go. Hopefully, by the time you get this letter, I will be packing my bags for home!
Do take care of yourself. Give my love to Mom and Daddy. Have a wonderful time! See you soon.
Your loving sister
